History & Origin
Jassen is a spelling variant of Jason, from Greek Iason, tied to the verb iasthai, 'to heal,' and famous as the leader of the Argonauts. It appears in United States records from around 1967 and reached a small high around 1974, as Jason was climbing toward the top of the charts. Jassen itself stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.
A boy named Jassen then would be in his fifties now, part of the enormous Jason generation. The double-s spelling marks it as an of-its-era variant; it has not revived, with the standard Jason remaining the familiar form.
