Talk:Jason

Latest comment: 4 months ago by Camelista27

I am a Jason. I realised a number of years ago that my name could also have links to the Gregorian/Western/Christian calendar. Can anyone confirm if this might be the case? J July A August S September O October N November

I find it more than a coincidence that the letters are in sequence with the first letters of the 7th, 8th, 9, 10th and 11th months since so many other names are also linked to our calendar.

Is it just a coincidence or is there more to it?

Definitely a coincidence, since the Jason of Greek myth was mentioned, historically, long before the months of "July" and "August" received their current names (from the Roman emperors Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus). —RuakhTALK 00:15, 7 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
As a fellow Jason, I have noticed this, but doubt it is anything more than a coincidence.--Simplificationalizer (talk) 16:40, 2 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
That's totally coincidental! Initials don't always correspond to existing etymologies. Camelista27 (talk) 11:37, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
