Jason by the numbers
In 2025, 270 babies in England and Wales were named Jason. In the US, 4,221 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 55,653 babies in 1977, so it is a 1970s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1975, about 1 in 31 American boys born that year was called Jason.
