History & Origin

Jaysaun respells Jason, from Greek Iason, usually glossed 'healer'. The classic name carries a myth (the Argonauts and the Golden Fleece) and a New Testament bearer. The -saun spelling is a modern American flourish, and its route into any one family is uncertain, which we note (said 'JAY-sawn').

In the U.S. this spelling appears only rarely for boys, while Jason remains far more common. Rare spelling, classic root.

Did you know? Jason — Greek Iason, tied to a verb meaning 'to heal' — is the captain of the Argonauts and one of the great American names of the twentieth century. Jaysaun gives it a fresh, phonetic coat (said 'JAY-sawn').
