Jay is a short form of any name that starts with the letter "J-", such as Jason or James. As a given name, Jay was sometimes given to honor of the American founding father John Jay. His surname was derived from the jaybird (from the Old French jai meaning "lively, merry.")

Jay or Jai is a common Hindu given name meaning "win" or "victory" in Sanskrit.
