Meaning & Story

A playful reduplication of "Jay," Jayjay is a doubled nickname with roots as an affectionate informal form of names beginning with the letter J.

Jayjay is the kind of name that doubles the fun — literally. The repeated syllable gives it a bouncy, upbeat sound that suits a pet with a big, exuberant personality. It is casual and warm, the sort of name a family spontaneously lands on when a more formal name just does not quite capture their pet's joyful goofiness. Jayjay suits a dog who greets everyone at the door as if they are the most exciting person alive.
