Comments for the name Jason

Acts 17 (NIV Bible) means to heal or physician. I am impressed that it means Joshua in Hebrew.

One odd aspect of this common name is that it contains single letter abbreviations of five consecutive months. July, August, September, October, November.

A famous bearer (at least I think so) is Jason Crabb. He's part of a southern gospel group called The Crabb Family.

I have trouble with this lovely name because of Jason from Friday the 13th.

Jason Momoa is an actor/model.

This is the name of my beloved. He is, in all respects, a gentle healer. Though it is common (and possibly considered "ordinary" by some), I now feel a tender regard for any other bearers of this name upon initially meeting them.

Jason Acura is the real name of Wee-man.

Jason Maraz is a pop musician.

Who can picture an 80 year old man with this name?

To the person who wondered about an 80 year old man with this name, I know a 30 year old with this name and it works fine for him and I can see him with it 50 years from now.

Even if you can't picture one, there certainly are some. It was certainly within the top 1000 80 years ago.

The Seinfeld character 'George' is Jason Alexander. Alexander is not his real last name of course.

Superman's son in Superman Returns is named Jason.

Jason is an okay name only. One boy I know is named Jason, and I hate him! That sort of makes me hate the name, but otherwise, it sounds sort of nice.

I think Jason is probably the greatest name of all time! Especially if you have twins you should name them Jason and Daniel. Even if they are girls. Jason means HEALER!

Jason Morant is a Christian music artist.

Jason Wade is the lead singer of Lifehouse.

Jason Bateman is a famous actor who started at age ten, and now is popular for starring as the lead role in the comedy series "Arrested Developement".

Ryne Sanborn played the character 'Jason Cross' in High School Musical.

Jason Michael Caroll is a newcomer to the country music scene but his star is rising fast with his first single "Alyssa Lies".

My dad has this name, and he has noticed the July-August-September-October-November thing too. This is interesting because since it means "to heal," to heal takes time, and five months is quite some time. Not that I think it was on purpose or anything, I mean I wouldn't put it past God that He did do it on purpose, but I just thought it was a cool coincidence. My dad has also said he can't imagine himself an old grouchy man with the same name. I think it is beautiful, though, and if you are a "healer," and or it means to heal, wouldn't the name have a young connotation anyway? I also find it interesting that it is related to Joshua, because according to this site Joshua means "God is my Salvation" and Jason means "To Heal." I guess if it is implying in the Joshua definition that since "God is my Salvation," He is also my healer, that would make sense how it's related. And thank you to whoever posted the scripture for this name at the top of the page I shall go look it up. But anyway, as far as personal impression goes, I have known a Jason who was a Sunday school substitute teacher sometimes and a pediatrician. Interesting, huh? Because my dad has the name Jason Mark, I don't know I've always just loved the name. I had this very real looking newborn baby doll when I was little, and I named it after him, to which he said he was too young to be a grandpa, let alone a father, for he is very young. It's weird seeing other people named Jason, though--it's not the same. Know what I mean? My favorite combo for this name is Jason Brenton, Jason after Dad and Brenton after my math teacher's son. I am using this name in my novel.

Jason Orange is from Take That.

A famous bearer is Slovak-Canadian director Jason Reitman.

Jon Wamsley played Jason Walton from "The Waltons." He, alledgedly as far as I caught on, was named after the hero Jason (of the Argonauts) or something. I didn't really like this name before but when I started watching this series, I really like it now for a boy. His character now gives it a musical feel, since he is the talented musician of the family. It's a nice name and I like the meaning "a healing."

Very very good boy name.
Let's see. There's Jason Freeman, the hero of the Vampire Beach book series by Alex Duval.
Also, Jason Teague was a character played by Jensen Ackles in the fourth season of Smallville. He was Lana Lang's boyfriend, and only appeared in that one season.
I can't think of any more at the moment.

Jason Earles - plays Jackson Stewart in Hannah Montana. He played a few other rolls, I believe, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

I found this website that lists Bible verses in association with each name. The actual denotation of each name is nowhere near as accurate as BTN, but I thought the verse thing was cool. Verse for Jason is 1 Corinthians 12:8-9. See

Jason Rosenkowitz and his brothers and sisters, Emma, Nicolette, Grant, Elizabeth, and David are the world's first surviving set of sextuplets, born on January 8, 1974 in South Africa.

This is a very safe name choice that you can't really go wrong with, as the name suits many different types of guys, be they young, old, black, white, good-looking or ugly. It's an overused, stale name, but at least the guy shouldn't have to worry about discrimination. I'd never use a Biblical name, but not all of them are bad.

The father's name in The Butterfly Effect was Jason.

Jason MacGuire from Dark Shadows. He brought Willie to Collinwood and seemed a bit gay for the lad.

Producer Peter Douglas and Lisa Marie Schröder have a son Jason Demskiy, born 2003.

Jason was a common name when I was a kid (70's & 80's), but not many people name their sons this these days.

Aren't people tired of this name yet? It was played-out 20 years ago! I don't care for this name because it makes me think of a dumb jock.

My son, Jason, was born in 1980. I thought then that it was a really cool name, and still do. During this time, "J" names were very popular for boys and it seemed like all my friends kid's had names like Joshua, Jacob, Jeremy, Justin, etc. I could go to the mall and call out for my son, and 5 boys would respond to my calling "Jason".
As for it not being a good name for "old guys", keep in mind that all the Jason's who were born in the early 1980's will all be old guys at the same time, and then it will be an old guy's name!

Pronounced "yah-SAWN".

When I hear this name I think of a hot guy for some reason. It's a "hot guy" name lol.

It's not a bad name but I personally think it's too plain and boring.

Jason Walton was the son of John and Olivia Walton on the old tv show the Waltons. He went into the army in later seasons.

Every year when the new Social Security name index comes out, I'm always surprised that Jason is still hanging around in the Top 100, and that it only fell out of the Top 50 a few years ago. Wasn't this name already dated, passé, and cliché a good 30 years ago? I do like that it means "healer" and that it's from Greek mythology, but unfortunately it also now reminds me of my jerk of a third love who majorly broke my heart when I was twenty-two. I'd really like to know why so many people have kept using it with such frequency in spite of the fact that every other guy who was born in the Seventies and Eighties is named Jason.

Russian-American producer Peter (Demskiy) Douglas and Lisa Marie Schröder have a son Jason Demskiy, born 2003.

A famous bearer of this name is American actor Jason Behr (b. 30 Dec 1973). He starred in TV series Roswell as alien Max Evans. He also appeared in Dawson's Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

It's getting terribly common, but it's still a nice name. Every other boy out there seems to be named Jason, though, so you might want to think about that before naming a son this.

Jason Gideon is a character who was on the first and second (and beginning of the third) seasons of Criminal Minds. Although for the most part everyone just called him Gideon.

My mother named my brother Jason back in 1961. It was not a well-known name at the time. Every teenage girl who heard it seemed to fall in love with the name and name her son Jason when she had a baby. The reason my brother ended up with the name is that it was my grandfather and uncle's middle name. Their first names were Percy, which my dad and uncle ruled out as my brother's name. Both Percy and Jason were considered "sissy" names that in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I guess Jason outgrew that connotation, but I am sure Percy hasn't.

I don't think I've ever met a Jason I didn't like. Such a handsome-sounding name with lots of positive associations, and I like the nickname Jay. Of course, Mason has skyrocketed and is now as popular as Jason was in the 70s and 80s, but at least Jason's still in the top 100...

I've actually only known two people named Jason in my entire life, so it's not very common to me. It's a heck of a lot better than Jayden and mason, which are by far more juvenile and immature sounding. I honestly don't see anything wrong with naming your son Jason, its a nice name with a nice meaning that will age well and shouldn't induce any teasing. I'm actually kind of happy this is still in the top 100 :)
