Meaning and history
Iason is the Ancient and modern Greek form of Jason. The Greek name Iason is traditionally connected with iaomai, “to heal,” and may mean “healer.” In Greek mythology, Jason leads the Argonauts on the quest for the Golden Fleece and marries Medea, making the name central to heroic legend. The spelling Iason preserves a direct Greek transliteration. Notable modern bearers include Greek footballer Iason Kyrkos and Greek swimmer Iason Kokkodis.
