Jaeson Origin and Meaning

The name Jaeson is a boy's name.

Jaeson represents a modern, phonetic respelling of Jason, a name with Greek origins meaning 'healer.' This alternative spelling emerged during the late 20th century trend of creating distinctive variations of classic names. The addition of the 'e' maintains the traditional pronunciation while giving the name a contemporary edge. While the original Jason has strong mythological connections to the Greek hero who led the Argonauts in the quest for the Golden Fleece, Jaeson carries these associations with a modern twist. The name saw modest usage beginning in the 1970s, particularly in the United States, as parents sought familiar names with unique spellings. Jaeson offers a balance between recognizability and individuality, appealing to those who appreciate the classical name but want something slightly different.
