Origins…
As the others mentioned, it’s closely linked with surf culture. Aussie surf culture has a big crossover with hippie and new age culture, with its inevitable links to India. You see other names of Indian origin, like Bodhi, popping up in surf families too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Indian name Jai is the origin of the Australian one.
