Jase

Boy name · 36 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jase: 36 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2015.

From its Greek roots, Jase is a modern short form of Jason (Ἰάσων, Iason), meaning “healer.” In classical myth, Jason led the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece, giving the name an adventurous edge. More recently, Jase Robertson, the bearded outdoorsman from the reality series *Duck Dynasty*, brought the name into American homes, while Jase Harley has made a mark as a UK rapper. Though no major places share the name, it stands as a sleek variant of Jace or Jayce, appealing to parents who like concise, punchy names with a mythological nod. As a given name, Jase has steadily appeared on Scottish birth registers since the 2000s, blending ancient story with down-to-earth charm.
