Jazzmyne is an uncommon and unique feminine given name of American origin. It was created in the late 20th century by author Sistren Sassafras, who used it for one of her characters in her book "The Adventures of Jazzmyne Jaxx". The name is a blend of the words "jazz" and "myn", with no specific meaning attributed to it beyond its musical and unique sound. Despite its unconventional origins, Jazzmyne has gained some popularity as a given name in recent years, particularly among parents seeking distinctive and creative names for their daughters. However, it remains relatively rare compared to more traditional feminine names.
Statistics on the given name Jazzmyne show a distinct trend over the past few decades in the United States. Between 1988 and 2021, there have been a total of 528 births registered with this name.
The name first appeared in the top 1000 baby names list in 1988 with only five births that year. However, it quickly gained popularity, reaching its peak in 1994 with 27 births, and again in 1995 and 1996 with 23 and 27 births respectively.
The late 1990s and early 2000s saw a consistent number of babies named Jazzmyne, hovering around the 20 to 28 mark each year. However, after reaching another peak in 1999 with 28 births, there was a noticeable decline in popularity.
From 2003 onwards, the number of newborn girls named Jazzmyne started to decrease significantly, dropping below 20 births per year consistently until 2017 when it reached its lowest point since 1988 with only seven births. This trend has continued, with five births recorded in both 2018 and 2019, and another five in 2021.
Overall, while Jazzmyne was a popular name during the late 1990s and early 2000s, it seems to have fallen out of favor in recent years, with fewer parents choosing this unique moniker for their newborn daughters.
