Short, sharp, and cool, Jett is a contemporary choice that connotes both gemstones and jet engines. Rarely used before the 90s, John Travolta, and then George Lucas, helped to put the name on the map by choosing it for their sons. 
 
Jett is a word name with a twist, a bit like Forrest or Merritt and that extra "T" moving it more firmly into name territory. It is associated with the highly, polished black gemstone and the color "jet black", meaning it fits in with the likes of Jasper, Onyx, Scarlett, and Jade. It is also associated with jet engines, jet planes, and speed and it was this connection that likely drew aviation enthusiast Travolta to the name - though it could work for someone wanting to honor their love for travel too.
 
For those wanting a less wordy association, you could link Jett to the surname Jetson, which is a diminutive of Jordan, via the old pet forms Jutt and Jud. 
 
Jett first entered the US Top 1000 in 1999 and climbed steadily until 2009 when it was one of the fastest rising names of the year. Since then it has returned to travelling steadily upwards, and is now in the Top 300. Given to over 1700 babies every year, it is also moving up the charts in the UK.
