About Jaycee
Jayce has been trending the last few decades, and while Jaycee may have a more feminine feel it would work for a boy as well, perhaps as a twist on Biblical Jesse or initial name, J.C. As it is invented, it doesn't have a specific meaning, though you may consider it an elaboration of Jay, meaning "jaybird", a form of Jason (via Jace) meaning "healer", or a blend of James and Casey, offering "vigilant supplanter".

Jaycee for girls#1155 US
Jaycee is a modern invented name, likely inspired by the similar sounding Casey and Macy. While these names peaked in the 1990s and 2000s, their energetic and contemporary vibe has kept them relevant today, and a recent year saw more than 300 girls given the name Jaycee in the US.
As Jaycee is an invention based on the sounds of established names, it doesn't have a specific meaning of its own. You might say, however, that it means "jaybird" from the "jay" element, or that it's a compound name, blending James, Jay, or Jane with Casey or Macey, offering meanings such as "vigilant supplanter", "God is gracious and vigilant", "jaybird on the hill" or similar.
Pronounced JAY-see.
As of October 2026, Jaycee ranked #2498 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2032 in 2020.
