Meaning & origin
Jeison is a modern spelling variant of the classic name Jason. U.S. Social Security data shows a clear upward trend since 1996, peaking in rank in 2024 (3,757th overall, about 1 in 58,899 births that year). The name saw its first recorded appearance in 1991. It is most prevalent in California, consistent with the state's tendency toward creative respellings. While not common nationally, Jeison represents a modest but steady choice among parents seeking a distinctive twist on a traditional name. The trajectory of usage in the current decade suggests growing, though still niche, appeal.
Jeison is a modern respelling of the Greek-derived name Jason, which comes from the Greek Iason and ultimately from iasthai, 'to heal'. The spelling with 'ei' reflects a phonetic variation that has appeared in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, particularly in the United States. It remains a relatively uncommon variant.
