To burn or to shine
Aison is a rare variant of the Greek name Aeson, who in Greek mythology was the father of Jason and the rightful king of Iolcus. The name is derived from the Greek word 'aithein', meaning to burn or to kindle, suggesting a bright or fiery nature. While historically significant in myth, it remains a very uncommon choice in the modern United States.
