Meaning & origin
First recorded in 1967, Jase gained popularity gradually, peaking at rank 717 in 2013. Its recent trajectory shows a steady decline from that peak, reflecting shifting trends among short, modern names. With a current 1-in-4,555 ratio, Jase remains a moderately rare choice, most frequently found in states like West Virginia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Jase emerged in the United States in the late 20th century, likely as a respelling of Jace (itself a variant of Jason) or as an independent coinage. The name Jason derives from Greek Iason, meaning 'healer,' borne by the mythological leader of the Argonauts. While Jase shares that root association, its modern usage is primarily stylistic, part of a trend toward short, ending-in-'s' names.
