Jayah
Meaning of Jayah
Jayah is a feminine appellation of contemporary Anglo-American usage, pronounced JAY-uh (/dʒeɪˈɑ/) in English. Although its etymological derivation is not definitively established, it is commonly interpreted as a modern variant of the Sanskrit term Jaya, meaning “victory,” or as an orthographic innovation inspired by names such as Jayla or Jaia. Statistical data from the United States Social Security Administration indicate that Jayah has maintained a presence in the top 1,000 female names since the late 1990s, most recently ranking 934th in 2024 with 16 recorded births—a consistency reflected in its placement within the 900–950 range over the past decade. The name’s succinct two-syllable structure, precise phonetic rendering, and connotations of triumph render Jayah a technically rigorous yet semantically resonant choice for parents seeking a designation that combines modern invention with substantive heritage.
