The story of Yeison
Jason was raised by the centaur Chiron, who taught medicine, and his name is built on the Greek for healing — a detail the myth otherwise makes little of. Colombian and Venezuelan naming produced Yeison, Jeison and Yeisson as phonetic Spanish spellings of the English Jason. It appears in American records in current use.
Meaning
healer
Through Jason, from the Greek Iason, related to iasthai, 'to heal', and iatros, 'physician' — the same root as in psychiatry and pediatrics. The Yeison spelling follows Spanish orthography for the English sound. The Greek is documented.

Line the two peaks up, and Johndavid's path sketches the road Yeison is walking now.
