Meaning: Healer

If baby has the healing touch, consider the name Iason. This boy’s name has Greek origins, and means “healer.” In Greek mythology, Iason—which is also the root name for Jason—was a hero and leader of the Argonauts, who searched for the famous Golden Fleece. It also has connections to the Greek goddess of healing, Iaso, giving baby plenty of powerful figures to look up to. And whether baby decides that a career in medicine is their calling, or they just decide to heal those around them with their infectiously adorable presence, Iason is an apt name choice.
