It reached its peak rank of 9,714 in 2010, but has been falling in use since 2013, with a latest rank of 9,714 in 2025.

Jaeson is a modern English respelling of Jason, derived from the Greek name Iason (Ἰάσων), meaning 'healer'. The name Jason appears in Greek mythology as the leader of the Argonauts. The variant Jaeson emerged in the late 20th century as a creative spelling, following a trend of replacing 's' with 'son' and using 'ae' for the long 'a' sound. It has been in use in the United States since at least 1969.
