Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Jazlyn

Jazlyn is a modern American name invented by using the word “jazz” and further combining it with the popular suffix “-lyn(n)”. Jazz is a popular music genre which originated among Blacks in New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 1800s. It was inspired by and drew on ragtime, church gospel, spiritual songs, West African rhythms and white people harmonies. Jazz is defined by its syncopation and improvisation. Lynn comes from a Welsh word meaning ‘lake’. So even if Jazlyn is an invented name (chiefly used within the African-American community), we are giving it an informal meaning of ‘Jazz Lake’.
