Yeison

Meaning of Yeison

Yeison is a masculine anthroponym of Hispanic origin that etymologically descends from the Ancient Greek personal name Iásōn—derived from the verb iásesthai (‘to heal’)—and subsequently adapts into Spanish phonology with an accentuated final syllable (pronounced /jeiˈson/). Though its presence within the register of US newborn names remains limited, official data from the Social Security Administration reveal a slow yet discernible increase in annual occurrences, with forty-five instances recorded in 2024, securing a rank of 879. This pattern of incremental adoption positions Yeison as a name that simultaneously evokes classical mythological resonance and connotes notions of healing and resilience, thereby embodying contemporary multicultural sensibilities. In scholarly anthroponymic analysis, Yeison is recognized not merely as a variant of Jason but as a distinct morphological adaptation that encapsulates the dynamic interface between linguistic variation and cultural identity across Anglo-American and Hispanic contexts.
