Jasion is Greek in Origin.

Jasion is a rare Slavic/Polish masculine given name with two plausible roots. It most commonly reflects a learned adaptation of Greek Iásion/Iásōn, names tied to iaomai “to heal,” yielding the meaning “healer.” In Greek myth, Iasion (also Iasios) was the lover of Demeter and father of Plutus, a connection that kept the name visible in classical literature and later humanist revivals. The Polish spelling Jasion aligns phonetically with this tradition while standing apart from the more familiar English Jason.

In Polish onomastics, Jasion also occurs as a surname and place-name, sometimes explained by links to words such as jesion “ash tree,” giving a nature-derived secondary reading. As a given name, Jasion surfaces sporadically from the late 20th century, chosen for its classical aura and rarity. Related forms and cognates include Iasion, Iasios, Iason, Jason (English), Jazon (Polish), Jasón (Spanish), and Yason (East Slavic). Possible short forms are Jas and Jasio.
