JAY Family History
This unusual and interesting name is of early medieval English and French origin, and is a "nickname" surname deriving from the word denoting the bird, in Middle English "jay(e)", Old French "gai", from the Latin "gaius", joyful, lively. The nickname "Jay" would probably have been bestowed on someone thought to share some characteristic of the bird, and jays were thought to be great chatterers and lively, showy birds. Many medieval English surnames were created from such nicknames from birds and animals, for example Hawk, Swan, Nightingale, and Peacock. There are a number of variant forms of the modern surname, ranging from Jay and Jaye to the patronymics Jayes, Jays, Jaze, Jeayes, Jeays and Jeyes, all meaning "son of Jay"...Select Audience
