Jase

Jase is an English name functioning as an informal phonetic spelling of Jason, which derives from the Greek Iason, itself connected to the verb iasthai, meaning to heal. In Greek mythology, Jason was the hero who led the Argonauts in the quest for the Golden Fleece, giving the name enduring classical resonance. Jase emerged as a standalone given name in the late twentieth century, particularly in English-speaking countries, as parents sought a shorter, more casual alternative. Related forms include Jason, Jayson, and Jay.
