Jaes is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'God is salvation'. It's a variant spelling of the name 'Jace', which is derived from the Latin word 'gratus', meaning 'pleasing, agreeable'. The name Jaes has gained popularity in recent years, often used as an alternative to more traditional names like James or Jason. In literature, there's a notable character named Jaes in Robin Hobb's 'The Liveship Traders' series.
"Interestingly, the name Jaes was given to five babies born in 1986."
