The name Javis experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable peak in recent decades. From 1935 to around 1975, the name's usage was relatively consistent but not common, ranging from 5 to 14 births per year. However, starting in the late 1970s, there was a marked increase in the popularity of Javis, reaching an all-time high of 31 births in 1999.
