Origin
Meaning and history of Jaizion
The name Jaizion is a modern variant of the English name Jaizon, which has its roots in the Hebrew language. The name is believed to have originated in the late 20th century, likely as a creative combination of the Hebrew name Jaaziah (meaning "Yahweh has strengthened") and the English suffix "-ion."
While the name Jaizion itself is relatively new and has no direct historical references, its Hebrew origins can be traced back to ancient times. The name Jaaziah, from which Jaizion draws inspiration, is mentioned in the Old Testament book of Ezra, which dates back to the 5th century BCE.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Jaizion are found in modern birth records from the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, due to its unique spelling and recent emergence, there are no notable historical figures known to have borne this name.
Despite its modern origins, the name Jaizion has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States. It is often chosen by parents who appreciate its unique sound and potential spiritual connotations stemming from its Hebrew roots.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Jaizion is Jaizion Taljaard, a South African rugby player born in 1995. Another notable Jaizion is Jaizion Elmore, an American football player who played for the Miami Dolphins in the National Football League (NFL) in the early 2000s.
While the name Jaizion may be relatively new, its Hebrew origins and unique sound have contributed to its growing popularity in various parts of the world, with parents seeking distinctive and meaningful names for their children.

FAQ
Jaizion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jaizion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jaizion going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Jaizion a common name?
We classify Jaizion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jaizion most popular?
The single biggest year for Jaizion was 2018, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jaizion is about 8 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jaizion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jaizion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jaizion in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jaizion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jaizion in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jaizion can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
