Did you know?
- In Irish, names are often preceded by the word a when talking directly to the person, such as a Jaision. This is called the vocative case and changes the way a name is spelled or pronounced.
- Because 'Jason' is not an indigenous Irish name, it does not undergo the typical mutations (lenition or eclipsis) that Gaelic names often do in certain grammatical contexts.
- In official Irish government documents, Jason is kept in its original form unless the person specifically requests a Gaelicized version.
