Meaning & Origin of Aeson
Meaning: Name of an ancient Thessalian town, also borne by the mythological king Aeson, father of Jason.
Origin: Greek.
A common claim: Often described as meaning 'from Iolcus', referencing the mythological king's home city. Actually: Aeson didn't mean 'Iolcus' -- he was king of Iolcus; the name itself traces to a different Thessalian town name, not the word Iolcus.
