English variation of Gervase, meaning unknown

Jarvas Origin and Meaning

The name Jarvas is a boy's name.

Jarvas is a rare masculine name that appears to be a variant of Jarvis, which originated as an English surname derived from the Norman French given name Gervais. The name Gervais comes from Germanic elements meaning "spear" and "servant," possibly interpreted as "skilled with a spear." Jarvas maintains the strong, distinctive sound of Jarvis while offering a slight spelling variation. Neither form has been particularly common as a first name in recent decades, though Jarvis saw modest usage in the United States during the mid-20th century. The name gained new recognition through the fictional AI assistant J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man and Avengers films, potentially influencing modern associations with intelligence and reliability.
