What is the meaning of the name Jaz ?

The baby name Jaz is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒæz/ ("jaz", rhymes with "jazz").

Jaz is in Origin.

Jaz is a modern unisex given name in English, most often a clipped form of Jasmine or Jasper. Through Jasmine (from Persian/Arabic yasmin), it carries the meaning "jasmine flower"; through Jasper (from Persian via Greek/Latin Gaspar), it can mean "treasurer." The spelling echoes the musical term jazz, lending a brisk, rhythmic feel even when not directly derived from the genre.

Used as a nickname for decades, Jaz began to appear on birth records as an independent name in the late 20th century across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. It skews slightly feminine where it shortens Jasmine, but is also borne by men when linked to Jasper. Related forms and variants include Jazz, Jazzy, Jazzie, Jazmin, Jazmine, Jasmin, Jasmyn, Jasper, Jaspar, and elaborations like Jazlyn and Jazlynn. Notable bearers such as actress Jaz Sinclair and musician Jaz Coleman highlight its cross-gender appeal.
