Jason is a common given name for a male. It comes from Greek (''Iasōn''),〔 At the Perseus Project.〕 meaning "healer", from the verb , ''iaomai'', "heal", "cure",〔.〕 cognate with , ''Iasō'', the goddess of healing〔.〕 and , ''iatros'', "healer", "physician".〔.〕 Forms of related words have been attested in Greek from as far back as Mycenaen (in Linear B) and Arcadocypriot (in the Cypriot syllabary) Greek: , ''i-ja-te'' and ''i-ja-te-ra-ne'', respectively, both regarded as standing for inflected forms of , "healer".〔.〕〔Inscription PY Eq 146, line 9.

The name is also found in the New Testament, as the house of a man named Jason was used as a refuge by Saint Paul and Silas. Its popularity in the United Kingdom peaked during the 1970s, when it was among the top 20 male names, but it had fallen out of the top 100 by 2003.〔(www.babynames.co.uk )〕 A feminine name that sounds similar is Jacin, derived from the Portuguese-Spanish name Jacinta or the Anglicized version Jacinda, meaning Hyacinth.〔Thomas W. Sheehan, . Our Sunday Visitor Publishing, 2001. "Jacinta: 'The Hyacinth Flower' (Spanish) or 'The Wearer of Purple' (Portuguese) or 'The Beautiful One' (Spanish). Jacinda: (Greek, Spanish) see Hyacinth, Jacinta."〕 ''Jason'' is the most common spelling; however, there are many variant spellings such as Jaison,''Jayson''. Jay is the common diminutive. ==Notable people with the name== * Jason of Cyrene (lived circa 100 BC), Jewish historian * Jason of Nysa (lived circa 100 BC), Stoic philosopher * Jason of Pherae (died 370 BC), King of Thessaly * Jason of Tarsus, Saint Jason in Catholic and Orthodox traditions * Jason (comics), pseudonym of Norwegian comics creator John Arne Sæterøy (born 1965) * Jason (high priest), a 2nd-century BC High Priest of Jerusalem * Jason Abalos, Filipino actor * Jason Aldean, American country singer * Jason Alexander, an actor, writer, and comedian, famous for his role as George Costanza on the sitcom ''Seinfeld'' * Jason Ankrah, American football player * Jason Bateman, American television and film actor * Jason Biggs, American actor * Jason Bohn, American professional golfer * Jason Brown, American Olympic medalist figure skater * Jason Castro, professional Filipino basketball player * Jason Castro, professional American baseball catcher * Jason Castro, American singer and musician * Jason Clark (disambiguation), Multiple people * Jason Collier, late NBA basketball player * Jason Crumb, Canadian football player * Jason Derulo, American R&B singer * Jason Donovan, Australian actor and singer * Jason Earles, American actor and comedian * Jason Ellis, Australian satellite radio host, professional skateboarder, MMA fighter and actor * Jason Garrett, American football coach and former player * Jason Geria, Australian footballer * Jason Giambi, American professional baseball player * Jason Gilkison, Australian choreographer and ballroom dance champion * Jason Griffith, American actor, voice actor * Jason Isaac, American politician * Jason Kennedy, American television personality * Jason Kennedy, professional American footballer * Jason Kidd, an NBA point guard * Jason Killeen, Irish basketball player * Jason King (disambiguation), Multiple people * Jason Kralt (born 1974), Canadian football player * Jason Lamar (born 1978), American football player * Jason Lee, American film and television actor, former pro skateboarder, co-founder of Stereo Skateboards * Jason Lee Scott Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger * Jason Lewis, American actor and former fashion model * Jason London, American actor * Jason Manuel Olazabal, American actor * Jason Matheson, American television anchor and radio personality * Jason Mewes, American actor * Jason Momoa, American actor * Jason Mraz, American singer-songwriter * Jason Newsted, former bassist for the band Metallica * Jason Orange, member of Take That * Jason Priestley, Canadian television and film actor * Jason Ritter, American actor, son of actor John Ritter * Jason Robards, stage and film actor.
