This is unisex, and not Indian, Hindi or Tamil! This name has English origins, and pronounced like "JIE". This is also used in Australia, The UK and in the U.S too! This doesn't come from India! Anyways, I like this short, awesome name! P.S. I still don't think people in India use it, but if you are Indian and want to use this for your child, go ahead.

Jai in Hindi or Sanskrit means victory as a noun or can be used as an adjective. It's a name used in India. Don't quite know what the Australian version is...

I am perplexed at the use of Jai in English for the name I would spell Jay. The last letter is the same as the first letter of yoga and yantra. It is not the same as the first letter of Indra or Ishta. So why the "i".

Jai (or Jay) means Victory in the Sanskrit language. I think of it now more of a English name. I live in Melbourne where I've heard that name too many times and everyone with the name was of Anglo descent.

I first came across this variant in the excellent novel "Olivia and Jai" by Rebecca Ryman. For a long time, I assumed it was pronounced "jye" (rhymes with "eye"). But then the authoress used a Hindu phrase I knew how to pronounce, in which "ai" sounded like "ay."

Jai is popular in Australia (top 100, previously) and there are rugby players Jai Field and Jai Arrow and actor Jai Courtney (all Australian). They don't seem to have any Indian roots. I think it is a name that exists independently in India and then in Australia and other English speaking countries. [noted -ed]
