Ason, of Latin origin, is derived from the name 'Asinius,' which was once a Roman family name. It is composed of two elements: 'aser,' meaning 'donkey' or 'ass,' and '-inus,' a suffix denoting 'of or belonging to.' Thus, Ason could literally mean 'belonging to an ass.' Despite its unusual derivation, the name Ason has been carried through history, often associated with notable figures. In recent years, it has seen some usage as a given name, perhaps drawn by its uniqueness and brevity.
The name Ason experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with peaks in the late 70s to early 80s and again recently from 2018 onwards. Notably, it reached an all-time high in 2022 with 42 births.
