Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryThe leader of the Argonauts, who retrieved the Golden Fleece from king Aeetes of Colchis, for his uncle Pelias. · A male given name from Ancient Greek. · Synonym of Jason Voorhees (“a male murderer, associated with a hockey mask (Jason mask), and especially one who keeps returning even after he is thought to be vanquished.”)
From the Ancient Greek Ἰάσων (Iásōn), from ἰάομαι (iáomai, “I heal”). The Jason mentioned in the New Testament (Acts 17:5-9, Romans 16:21) is probably a Greek rendering of Joshua.
