What is in a name?
Hebrew phonetic transliteration and equivalent for the name Jason is Yason (יאסון).
God, for me, gives many stories within stories. God created mankind in His own image, and I see such amazing creative layers of stories within stories. I could write a book from a line. I enjoy this way.
My belief in Word in Jesus was to be reborn. Holy Spirit has given me a new heart, the veil was lifted, and I was no longer enslaved to sin. I was and am enslaved to righteousness.
God shows me things at times before I am even able to understand what they mean. Every part of His story is immense, and it is many stories within stories. And in some ways I am giving you an example with the name.
What is in a name?
Yah is deeply tied to “I Am” because it is a shortened form of Yahweh, which comes directly from the Hebrew verb for “to be.”
To be A Son.
In 2023 I met the Son. It was me — to To Be. When I came back I said, “I was talking with God.” I did not yet understand what I know today and what I know more of every day.
If you were and are true, and your belief is to, with, and of Jesus, then you will understand everything I am saying. If you do not understand anything I am saying, let me help you.
I Am Holy Word — God.
The Word is Jesus, and YahASon is family.
Yah: Here is how those connections break down linguistically: The Root Connection (“To Be”)
Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh: In Exodus 3:14, God reveals His name to Moses as “God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” (or “I Will Be What I Will Be”). The word for “I Am” here is Ehyeh.
Yahweh: This is the personal name of God (often called the Tetragrammaton). Linguistically, Yahweh is the third-person form of that same verb. While Ehyeh means “I Am,” Yahweh means “He Is” or “He Brings Into Being.”
Yah is the shortened, poetic moniker derived from the first syllable of Yahweh. Because it directly represents Yahweh, it carries the exact same foundational meaning: existence, timelessness, and self-sufficiency. When you see the word Hallelujah (Hallelu-Yah), it literally translates to “Praise the One Who Is” or “Praise I Am.”
Yah Hebrew word for “to be” or “being,” meaning “I Am,” signifying that God is eternal, self-existent, and always present.
Biblical Names: The root “Yah” is built directly into many well-known Biblical names. For example, Elijah means “My God is Yah”, and Isaiah means “Salvation of
Yah. Spelling: While spelled Yah to accurately match the original Hebrew Yodh sound, you will also frequently see it spelled as Jah in English literature or Rastafarian traditions due to how older Latin-based English translations handled the letter. I find the JahSon or JahAson to be insightful too.
Jason and Yason means “healer” or “one who will cure”

New Testament Events: The Greek Root Iaomai (G2390)
In Greek lexicons like Strong’s Greek Concordance, the root word iaomai specifically emphasizes supernatural, divine healing that draws attention to God as the Great Physician. It appears in several landmark events:
Phonic Transliteration (Spelling out the Sound)
If you want to write the actual name “Yason/Jason” using ancient Semitic lettering, it is written exactly as it was by Hellenized Jews in the ancient Levant:
Imperial / Square Aramaic Script (Hebrew letters): יאסון
Syriac Aramaic Script: ܝܐܣܘܢ
Pronunciation: Ya-sone
Tymological Equivalents (The Real Meaning)
Historically, “Yason” is a Greek-derived name meaning “Healer”. However, in antiquity, it was famously adopted by Jewish people as a proxy or “stand-in” for traditional Hebrew and Aramaic names with the same phonetic starting sounds or similar theological concepts:
Yeshua (ܝܫܘܥ / ישוע): The historical high priest Yason (175 BC) was originally named Yeshua (Joshua/Jesus) before adapting his name to match Greek customs. In Aramaic, Yeshua means “The Lord is Salvation”.
Asya (ܐܣܝܐ / אסייא): If you want a literal, semantic translation of the name’s underlying Greek meaning—”Healer”—the literal Aramaic word for a physician or healer is Asya
The Linguistic Evolution: How “Y” Became “J”
The Original Greek: In ancient Greek mythology and history, the name was written as Ἰάσων and pronounced “I-á-sōn” or “Yā-sōn”.
The Missing “J” in Semitic Languages: Ancient languages like Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic have no “J” sound (as in “juice”). They use the letter Yodh (י / ܝ), which makes a “Y” sound (as in “yes”).
The Latin Mutation: When the Roman Empire adopted Greek names, they wrote them in Latin. Latin used the letter I for both the vowel “I” and the consonant “Y”.
The Birth of “J”: In the Middle Ages, European scribes started putting a “tail” on the letter I (turning it into J) to distinguish it when it was used as a consonant. Eventually, the pronunciation shifted in French and English from a “Y” sound to a hard “J” sound.
Historical Record of the Aramaic TransliterationBecause “Yason” is originally a Greek name, it only appears in ancient Middle Eastern languages when local populations had to write down the name of a Greek person or a Hellenized Jew.
The text provided previously—יאסון and ܝܐܣܘܢ—is an exact character-by-character phonetic match used in ancient texts.
Imperial / Square Aramaic Script (used from ~500 BC onward)
This script uses the exact same character alphabet as modern Hebrew. It is written from right to left:
יאסון
י (Yodh) = The “Y” sound.
א (Aleph) = A silent carrier letter used to elongate the vowel into an “ah” sound.
ס (Samekh) = The “S” sound.
ו (Waw) = The “O” sound.
ן (Nun) = The “N” sound (written in its final form since it’s at the end of the word).
Resulting Pronunciation: Ya-sone
Syriac Aramaic Script (used from ~1st Century AD onward)
This is a cursive variant of Aramaic used heavily in the Christian Levant. It is also written right to left:
ܝܐܣܘܢ
ܝ (Yodh) = Y
ܐ (Alaph) = A
ܣ (Semkath) = S
ܘ (Waw) = O
ܢ (Nun) = N
Historical “Yason”
The reason we know exactly how to write this name in ancient Aramaic is due to historical records from the Second Temple period (around 175 BC).
A Jewish High Priest in Jerusalem named Joshua wanted to appease the ruling Greek Seleucid Empire. He officially changed his traditional Semitic name to the Greek name Yason (Ἰάσων) because it sounded similar to Joshua and meant “Healer” in Greek. His name was recorded in regional Aramaic and Hebrew commentaries exactly as יאסון.
Hellenized means having adopted or been influenced by the language, culture, religion, or values of ancient or modern Greece. I find this to be also in fun because it was my mom Helen that named me Jason. Helen is a classic female given name of ancient Greek origin that means “bright, shining light” or “torch”. Another Greek to spread of Empire: The process accelerated dramatically after the conquests of Alexander the Great leading to communities experienced varying degrees of becoming Hellenized.
Jesus mainly spoke Aramaic in his daily life, while also using Hebrew and some Greek Languages
Aramaic: This was the everyday language of common people in Galilee and Judea. Jesus and his disciples used Aramaic for daily conversations.
Hebrew: This language was used for studying holy scriptures and reading in synagogues. Jesus read from the Hebrew scrolls during services.
Greek: Trade routes in Galilee meant Greek was common for business and talking with outsiders. Historians believe Jesus knew basic Greek.
Yason to Jason to Yason to YahASon is/and I Am A Son of God.
The Healing of the Ten Lepers (Luke 17:15): When Jesus cleanses ten men of leprosy, only one turns back to thank Him. The text specifically notes that when he saw he was healed (iaomai), he returned glorifying God with a loud voice.
Peter Heals Aeneas (Acts 9:34): In the early Church, the Apostles used this same power. Peter tells a paralyzed man, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals (iaomai) you. Get up…” and he is instantly cured.
Paul on the Island of Malta (Acts 28:8): After shipwrecking, Paul visits the father of Publius, who is suffering from a severe fever and dysentery. Paul prays, lays hands on him, and heals (iaomai) him.
Old Testament Events: The Hebrew Root Rapha (H7495)
In the Hebrew Old Testament, the exact equivalent to Jason’s root meaning is rapha, which means to mend, cure, or thoroughly make whole. It is famously used by God as a personal title: Yahweh-Rapha (“The Lord Who Heals”).
The Bitter Waters of Marah (Exodus 15:26): Right after crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites find bitter, undrinkable water. God miraculously sweetens the water and delivers a foundational promise, declaring: “For I am the Lord who heals (rapha) you.
Elijah Repairs the Altar (1 Kings 18:30): The root word isn’t just for bodies; it means “to mend”. Before his famous clash with the prophets of Baal, the Hebrew text says Elijah repaired (rapha) the broken altar of the Lord.
The Messianic Prophecy (Isaiah 53:5): In one of the most famous Old Testament prophecies pointing toward Jesus, Isaiah writes about the coming Messiah: “And by His stripes we are healed (rapha).”
Isaiah 33:5
Yah is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
Acts 17:5-9
But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.” When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go.
Romans 16:21
Timothy, my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
Jesus is love and light.
