Jacyah is a modern American given name, largely feminine, formed by blending Jacy/Jace with the theophoric suffix -yah, referencing the Hebrew Divine Name (Yahweh). As such, it carries contemporary, layered readings: from Jace (a short form of Jason, Greek “healer”), some interpret Jacyah as “Yah(weh) heals”; from Jacy (also linked to Tupi-Guarani Jaci, the moon goddess), it can suggest “moon of Yah” or simply an uplifted, spiritual twist on Jacy.

Usage of Jacyah appears in U.S. records from the early 2000s onward, especially within African-American naming traditions that favor inventive -yah and -siah endings. It remains uncommon but familiar in sound alongside Jakiya and Janiyah. Variant spellings include Jaciyah, Jaciya, Jacyiah, Jaseyah, and Ja’cyah; related short forms are Jacy, Jay, and Cya. Its contemporary profile makes it flexible across spellings while retaining a softly lyrical cadence.
