My grandparents called my brother a name that sounded like "Ya-shoe". His name was Jonathan and the translation for John into Polish is Jan so I would really like to know what they were saying and also how to spell it.
Thanks!

Jasio can't be short form of Jan, coz it's longer :D It's just diminution.
