Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Jace

Jace is basically a nickname for Jason which was originally derived from the Greek verb “iasthai” meaning ‘to heal.’ For more information on Jason, see Jason. As is often the case, like Max and Jack, nicknames form into independent given names in their own right. Jace is another example of this. Its modern popularity is probably also a result of the increased usage of a similarly sounding name: Chace.
