DJ is a modern English given name formed from initials, most often of a first and middle name beginning with D and J (David James, Daniel Joseph, Diego Jose). As an initialism it carries no fixed meaning; the sense derives from the underlying names - David "beloved," Daniel "God is my judge," James (from Jacob) "supplanter," Joseph "he will add," and so on. The spelling DeeJay/Deejay also occurs, influenced by the term "disc jockey," which helped popularize the sound in the radio and hip-hop eras.

Use as a legal first name emerged in the late 20th century in English-speaking countries, though it long functioned as a nickname. The name is pronounced "DEE-jay," is most common for boys but used unisex, and shares style with TJ, AJ, and CJ. Variants and formats include DJ, D.J., Dj, DeeJay, and Deejay.
