The history of the first name Jase

The name Jase is a modern variant of the name Jason, which has its origins in Greek mythology. Jason was a hero from ancient Greek legends, known for leading the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece. The name Jason is derived from the Greek word "iasthai," which means "to heal."

In Greek mythology, Jason was the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcos. He embarked on his famous voyage to retrieve the Golden Fleece, which was guarded by a fearsome dragon. Jason and his crew of Argonauts faced many challenges and obstacles during their journey, but ultimately succeeded in their quest.

The name Jason gained popularity in ancient Greece and was later adopted by the Romans. It appears in various ancient texts and records, including the works of Apollonius of Rhodes and Euripides.

In the medieval period, the name Jason remained in use, particularly in areas influenced by Greek and Roman culture. One notable figure from this time was Jason de Mayno, an Italian jurist and legal scholar who lived in the 13th century.

During the Renaissance, the name Jason experienced a resurgence in popularity, likely due to the renewed interest in classical literature and mythology. One of the most famous bearers of the name from this period was Jason Maino (1480-1561), an Italian jurist and professor of law.
