Jazzalyn is a unique and melodic given name of American origin. It is composed of two distinct elements: 'Jazz', which refers to the vibrant, improvisational music genre that originated in African American communities in the late 19th century, and 'Alyn', a variant of the feminine name Alaina or Alana, derived from the Irish surname O'Cleirigh. The combination of these two components results in a name that is both musical and ethnically diverse in its roots. Jazzalyn was not particularly common during its peak popularity, which occurred briefly in the mid-20th century when jazz music reached widespread acclaim. Today, it remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Jazzalyn had a slow start with only two peaks in the early years (6 births each in 1989 and 1993). It gained traction around the late 90s to early 2000s, with several years seeing 7 or more births. The name reached its highest popularity between 2006 and 2011, with a peak of 19 births in 2011. Since then, it has seen a decline, with only one year (2015) reaching double digits. Overall, Jazzalyn has had 248 recorded births from 1989 to 2023.
