History & Origin

Jaysun is a phonetic respelling of Jason, from Greek Iason, usually read as 'healer'. Jason was the leader of the Argonauts in myth and a host in the Book of Acts; the name became an American staple in the twentieth century. This spelling is a recent variant (said 'JAY-sun').

In the U.S. this spelling appears only rarely for boys, against far heavier use of Jason. Rare spelling, classic root.

Did you know? Behind Jaysun stands Iason, the Greek name of the hero who sailed the Argo — and a word family that turns on healing. The -sun spelling is a modern, sunlit take on a very old name (said 'JAY-sun').
