Meaning and origin of Jase
Jase is an English and Greek name that is usually said to mean “to heal; short form of Jason”.
Jase is a short form of Jason that has become a name in its own right. Jason comes from the Greek Iason, traditionally linked to a verb meaning to heal. In Greek mythology Jason led the Argonauts on the quest for the Golden Fleece, and a Jason also appears briefly in the New Testament. Jase keeps that heritage but sounds brisk and modern, a single syllable that fits with names like Chase, Jace and Cade. Some parents use it as an independent name, while others give Jason in full and call their son Jase every day.
