Jassi is a unisex diminutive and modern given name most prevalent among Punjabi-speaking Sikh communities.

While long used informally within families, Jassi began appearing on official records in the late 20th century and has spread with the South Asian diaspora, notably in the UK and Canada. Media visibility - from the Indian TV series Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin to musicians like Jassi Sidhu - has reinforced its standalone use. Variant spellings include Jasi, Jassie, and Jassy; related names include Jasmine, Jasmin, Jaspreet, Jasmeet, Jasleen, and Jaswinder.
