Jint is Chinese, Dutch, Frisian, Korean in Origin.
Jint is a very rare given name, most plausibly a clipped or minimalist form emerging in English and Dutch-Frisian contexts. It aligns with Scots Jinty - a pet form of Janet - and with Dutch/Frisian Jinte; both trace back to the Johanna/John family from Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” Used this way, Jint inherits that gracious-gift sense while offering a brisk, contemporary sound.
As a standalone, Jint appears sporadically in late 20th- and 21st-century usage, often chosen for its sharp, one-syllable profile reminiscent of Clint or Flint. It can function as gender-neutral. Variants and related forms include Jinte (feminine, Low Countries), Jinty (Scots diminutive), Jintie, Janet, Jane, Johanna, Johan, and Jan. Some parents also treat Jint as a nickname route from longer forms containing the element Jan-/Johan-; spelling alternates are rare, keeping the concise Jint form preferred.
Jint is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 7 times, across 5 countries.
