Meaning & origin

Jasun is a rare modern spelling variant of the classic name Jason, which has Greek origins meaning 'healer'. First recorded in the United States in 1971, the name never achieved widespread use. Its peak year was 1976, after which its usage remained extremely low and stable, with the Social Security Administration recording no significant rank. The name's trajectory has been flat, reflecting its status as an uncommon choice. Despite its rarity, Jasun offers a distinctive twist on a familiar name, appealing to parents seeking a unique variation of Jason without straying too far from the original sound.

Jasun is a modern spelling variant of the name Jason, which itself derives from the Greek Iason, meaning 'healer'. The name gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s, but the Jasun variant has always been rare. Its usage peaked in 1976, with very few recorded births since then.
