Could be short for Jason ... and in English they used to use Jas. as an abbreviation of James, especially in the names of companies: Jas. Jones, Smith and Robinson, chartered accountants. Something like that. (Also Jno. for John, Geo. for George.)

Interesting! I've only ever seen Thos for Thomas, and actually read a novel once in which a Thomas character was addressed as Thos! Poor bloke ... lucky he was fictional.
