Jax Origin and Meaning
The name Jax is a boy's name meaning "God is Gracious".
With its cool -X ending, Jax is an update on the classic nickname Jack, likely inspired by the rise of Jackson. It garnered attention in the US thanks to the game, Mortal Kombat II back in the '90s, and was pushed up the charts when it was used in the show Sons of Anarchy, in which Jackson "Jax" Teller is the central character.
Jax peaked in the US back in 2014 when it nearly reached the Top 200 and has since been on a slow decline. Across the pond in the UK however, it entered the Top 100 for boys in 2023.
