A American name gently fading from the charts.
abbreviation of jarcento (“century”)
Jc is used as a boy's given name of American origin, standing as initials rather than a spelled-out name. Like J.B. and T.J., initial-only names are a genuine American tradition, especially in the South and rural Midwest, where they convey a no-fuss, straight-talking personality.
Compact and distinctive, Jc is the kind of name that becomes a whole personality in two letters.
Jc was #3042 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #7439, but its charm endures.
