History & Origin

Jazzy started life as an affectionate short form of Jasmine, Jazlyn and Jazmin, and stepped out as a given name in its own right. The word behind it, jazzy, entered English in the early twentieth century with the music — meaning lively, bright, full of swing. Cheerful and unmistakable (said 'JAZ-ee').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. as a standalone name, though it thrives as a nickname. Playful, musical, and warm.
