What is the meaning of the name Jassa ?

The baby name Jassa is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈdʒɑːsə/ or /ˈdʒʌsə/; respelling: JAH-sah or JUSS-uh (stress on first syllable).

Jassa is Punjabi in Origin.

Jassa is a Punjabi given name, commonly Sikh, arising as a short form of many Jas names (Jaspreet, Jaswinder, Jasdeep, etc.). The element Jas continues Sanskrit yashas 'glory, fame; praise,' so Jassa carries the sense of 'renowned, praiseworthy' or 'praise of the Divine' in Sikh naming traditions. It has been used as an independent name in North India for centuries; a notable bearer is the 18th-century Sikh leader Jassa Singh Ahluwalia.

The name is typically masculine in Punjab but can be unisex in the diaspora. Variants and short forms include Jas, Jass, and Jasa; related extended forms are Jaswant, Jasmeet, Jasleen, Jaskaran, and Jasvir. Though phonetically close to Slavic Jasha (a pet form of Jacob) or Indonesian Jasa, these are unrelated. Common pronunciations are JUSS-uh and JAH-sah, depending on regional accent and family preference.
