Jaygar is in Origin.

Jaygar is a modern English given name, pronounced JAY-gar. It most plausibly blends Jay - used both for the bright, talkative jay bird and as a short form of James, Jason, or Jacob - with the Old English element -gar “spear,” familiar from names like Edgar and Hrothgar. Some bearers treat it as a creative respelling of the German surname/occupational name Jäger/Jaeger “hunter.” Documented use is very rare, appearing sporadically in Anglophone records from the late 20th century onward.

Meaning depends on the reading: “spear,” “hunter,” or “jay (bird),” giving Jaygar a fusion of martial vigor and lively, nature-forward imagery. Variants and near-forms include Jayger, Jaegar, Jaeger, Jager, and the surname Jagger; short forms include Jay and Gar. Related names by element are Edgar (Old English gar “spear”) and Jaeger (German “hunter”). Note that Jagar occurs independently in South Asia with different roots.
