JASON
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Greek Mythology (Latinized), Biblical
From the Greek name Ιασων (Iason), which was derived from Greek ιασθαι (iasthai) "to heal". Jason was the leader of the Argonauts in Greek legend. He went in search of the Golden Fleece in order to win back his kingdom from his uncle Pelias. During his journeys he married the sorceress Medea, who helped him gain the fleece and kill his uncle, but who later turned against him when he fell in love with another woman. This name is also used in Acts in the New Testament to translate the Hebrew name Joshua.
Having one of the most common names around I think I'm lucky to even have a backstory about my name. Though I am sure my parents named me after that whole greek story about Jason.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
