Aeson
Meaning of Aeson
Aeson (English pronunciation “AY-sun,” /ˈeɪsən/) derives from the Ancient Greek Aison, best known in myth as the father of Jason, leader of the Argonauts. Etymologically linked to the Greek verb ἰάομαι (“to heal”), the name conveys a measured classical resonance without the ubiquity of its more famous descendant. In the United States, Aeson has maintained a consistently low profile—rising from single-digit occurrences in the late 1990s to a recent peak of 74 births in 2020 (rank 844) and settling at 42 births in 2024 (rank 882). Its two-syllable structure, with an initial open vowel and a terminal nasal consonant, yields a clear, balanced cadence that appeals to those seeking both mythological depth and phonetic precision. Despite its storied origin, Aeson remains a subtly distinctive choice for parents who value technical clarity and historical weight in equal measure.
