Iasonas is the Modern Greek form of Ancient Greek Ἰάσων (Iásōn), from the verb ἰάομαι “to heal” and the noun ἴασις “healing,” yielding the meaning “healer” or “one who cures.” It is etymologically linked to the healing deities Asclepius and his daughter Ἰασώ (Iasō), the personification of recovery.

Name borne by the mythic hero Jason, leader of the Argonauts, which ensured continuous recognition in the Greek world and adoption by early Christians (e.g., Saint Jason of Tarsus mentioned in Acts). Iasonas, with the -as nominative ending typical of Modern Greek masculines, is standard in contemporary Greece and Cyprus, reflecting 19th–20th‑century neoclassical revival. Variants and cognates include Iason (Ancient/Scholarly Greek), Jason (English/French), Jasón (Spanish), Jasão (Portuguese), Giasone (Italian), Jazon (Polish), Iason/Иасон or Ясон (Russian), and Iason (Georgian). Modern English spellings like Jayson also relate. Diminutives are uncommon; Greek usage typically shortens to Iason.
