I'd guess, given Jaune went to a hunter academy he feels it's something combat related but my head cannon is Jaune's semblance is healing himself and possibly others and that the rapid healing of his scratch when Pyrrah unlocked it or his wounds when Carding was attacking him in foreverfall is foreshadowing.

Tied into above I think it's possible Jaunes ancestor was famous for negotiating a peace treaty (Jaune was pulled up by Oobleck for not showing an aptitude or interest in history) or saving someone on a non combat role - i.e. Doctor or Nurse such as a Florence Nightingale type person.

So basically he is a local hero, but his stories made Jaune views him as a national, or even an international hero. This is a good point you make, one I wish I'd thought of.
