About Aj
Made up of the letters A and J, this initial name is often used as a nickname, however, a growing number of parents are choosing to put AJ on the birth certificate. It has been making the occasional appearance in the England and Wales Top 1000 since 2013.
In the US, it is given to around 70 babies each year, but for those looking for a longer form, Ajay might appeal (and is also a Sanskrit name meaning "unconquered").
Aj is also given to girls.
Pronounced AY-JAY.
As of October 2026, Aj ranked #1932 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1546 in 1985.
