Jaye

Jaye is an English name functioning as an independent given name derived from the letter name jay, which itself traces back through Old French and Latin to the bird name, possibly of imitative origin reflecting the bird's call. It arose partly as a feminine respelling or elaboration of the initial J, used as a standalone name, and partly as a variant of Jay. The name shares its roots with Jay and Jai, and the spelling with a final e gave it a softer, often feminine character in modern English-speaking cultures.
