Use is chiefly late 20th- and early 21st-century in the United States, with notable adoption in African-American communities and occasional visibility in sports - e.g., NFL cornerback Jacorey Shepherd and wide receiver JaCorey Brooks. Variants include Jacory, Jacori, Jakorey, Jakory, Jakoree, and the styled forms JaCorey and Ja'Corey. Common nicknames are Jay, Corey, and J.C.
