Spellings and forms include Jayakrishna (single word), Jai Krishna, Jaya Kṛṣṇa, Jay Krishna, and vernacular variants like Jai Kishan/Kishen; Malayalam and Tamil often add -n: Jayakrishnan/Jaya Krishnan. Though Jaya alone is unisex, Jaya Krishna is typically masculine; some regions also feminize the second element as Krishnaa.
