Jaye is of American origin, derived from the French given name Jean, which means 'God is gracious.' It is traditionally used as a masculine name but has become increasingly popular as a unisex option in recent years.
"Jaye experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the decades, with a notable spike to 26 births in 1954 and another peak of 32 births in 1959. However, since the mid-2000s, its usage has declined, with fewer than 15 births recorded annually."
