What does the Jay stand for in Jay-Z?

Answer 1

Jay-Z's name means "JEHOVAH" - He calls himself HOVA, HOVITO - the greatest, no one higher. Biblically, JEHOVAH is GOD, the creator of the universe and mankind. This is his take on who he is and in a sense, he expects the worship and praise merely by his name.

Answer 2

The Z in Jay-Z doesn't stand for anything. The name Jay-Z is just a spinnoff of his mentor's name "Jazz".

Or it could be an imitation of the initials in Jesus Christ - JC, turned over to Jay-Z. C and Z do sound alike.
