Jacy is a modern, largely English-language given name with several plausible roots. It most commonly functions as a respelling of Jacey, a contemporary coinage influenced by the sounds of Casey and the initial J-, or as a short form of Jacqueline (from Jacob) and Jason. Beyond English, Jacy can reflect Iberian Jacinto/Jacinta, ultimately from Greek Hyakinthos "hyacinth." In Brazil, the Indigenous Tupi-Guarani name Jaci, the moon goddess/"moon," is sometimes spelled Jacy and has also informed usage.

Recorded in U.S. data since the late 20th century, Jacy rose alongside breezy -acey/-acie names in the 1990s–2000s. It is unisex but now leans feminine; bearers include basketball player Jacy Sheldon and wrestler Jacy Jayne. Variants and relatives include Jacey, Jacie, Jaci, Jasey; longer forms Jacinta, Jacinda, Jacqueline, Jason. Meanings vary by origin: moon; hyacinth; supplanter; or healer.
