Meaning & origin
The name Json is a modern English respelling of Jason, first recorded in the United States in 1971. While it has never appeared in the top 1000, its peak year came in 1996, after which it has remained stable in its low frequency of use. The name's trajectory suggests it has never gained widespread popularity, and it has not been associated with any particular state or region. As a creative spelling variant, it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a classic name.
Json is a modern invented name, typically a respelling of the classical name Jason, which derives from the Greek Iason, meaning 'healer'. It emerged in the late 20th century, following a trend of creative respellings of established names, and gained minor usage in the 1990s.
