Meaning and origin of Jaison
Jaison is an American (modern coinage) and Greek name that is usually said to mean “variant of Jason; healer”.
Jaison is a respelling of Jason, the Greek hero who led the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece. The Greek form Iason is usually connected with iasthai, to heal, so the name is often explained as healer. Jason also appears in the New Testament as a man in Thessalonica who sheltered Paul. The spelling Jaison puts the ai of names like Jaiden and Jairo in the first syllable, which keeps the sound but changes the look. It is said JAY-sun. Readers sometimes stumble between Jason and Jay-son, so the pronunciation matches the classic name even if the letters suggest an extra beat.
Popularity over time
Jaison first appears in US Social Security records in 1968. It has never ranked in the national top 1,000, which keeps it genuinely uncommon. Its best national rank was #1,218 in 1980, and the most babies received it in 2008, when 59 were named Jaison. In 2025, 16 babies were named Jaison, and it ranked #5,702 nationally. That is 53% fewer than ten years earlier, so it is becoming less common.
Its national rank moved from #1,218 in 1980, #3,028 in 2000, #2,486 in 2010, and #5,702 in 2025. Of the 1,785 US boys named Jaison since records began, 25% were born in the 2000s, its biggest decade. The 2010s come next, with 340 babies. Since 2010, 478 more have been named Jaison.
Other boys' names that peaked around the same time include Jacobe, Servando, Amadou, Alexandros, and Valente.
