Jason is normally interpreted as being an Ancient Greek word meaning 'healer.' Although some define it as being a Hebrew form of Joshua, which means: 'Lord is Salvation.' Additional comment by mariafadeout: it means 'healer' and it is greek. Some say it was Jason and not Theseas,who's father :king Aegeas had a "permanent wound" like they used to call it,but metaphorically.the wound was actually the burden that the kingdom was obliged to give 10 young men and 10 young women to the Cretan kingdom to be sacrificed.eaten by the Cretan Minotaur.. So after losing many young ones,Jason went with the next chosen ones,to kill the half-man half-bull creature. He succeeded and his town-wound was healed.. His father didn't know if his son would succeed and he couldn't wait for his son's ship to touch dock to find out.so he told him,before he left,to put white sails up,if he would be alive.Jason forgot that detail and went into the port with black sails.his father,watching from a cliff ,thought he was dead and jumped into the greek sea that took his name and is called until today the Aegean Sea..
