What is the meaning of the name AJ ?

The baby name AJ is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AY-jay.

AJ is English in Origin.

AJ is an English initial name, built from the names of the letters A and J rather than from a single lexical root. A traces back through Latin and Greek alpha to Phoenician aleph, originally the sign name for an ox. J began as a graphic variant of I in medieval Latin script and became a distinct letter in early modern European alphabets; its English letter-name is jay. Literally, AJ identifies the paired initials A and J.

In use, AJ is most often a nickname for compound given names such as Aaron James, Alexander John, Andrew Joseph, or Anthony Jude, though the initials have also appeared independently on birth records. The punctuated form A.J. remains common in North America and Britain. Literary and screen associations include A. J. Raffles, E. W. Hornung’s gentleman thief, and several television characters. Recent usage is modest, with occasional registration in England and Wales and low but regular use in the United States.
