📖 About Jett
Jett is a modern English name drawing from two sources: the deep-black gemstone jet, prized since antiquity, and the evocative power of jet-propelled speed. As a given name it feels sleek, bold, and kinetic. It gained traction as a celebrity baby name before spreading into mainstream use, particularly in Australia, where it ranked in the top 100 from the mid-2000s through the early 2010s, peaking at rank 72 in 2009 with 147 births recorded. Short, punchy, and effortlessly cool, Jett suits an era that prizes names with attitude.
