Trivia
Ever wonder what the name Jason means?
The name is derived from the Greek 'iasis' (healing), with the meaning 'bringing healing', 'one with healing
powers', 'healer'. In Greek mythology Jason was the leader of the Argonauts who went to get the Golden Fleece.
The name Max, Jason's character on Roswell, means 'the greatest' if the name stems from the Latin. It's derived from the Latin 'maximilius'
the diminutive for 'maximus', which means 'the greatest'. Successful army leaders received as a reward the honorary title 'maximus'.
If the name is from Anglo-Saxon origin it means 'great spring', 'from the large spring'. The name is derived from Maxwell.
