Derived from the band name Jamiroquai; likely a modern coinage.
Jamiroquan is a rare modern invention, likely inspired by the British funk band Jamiroquai. The band's name itself is a portmanteau of 'jam' and 'Iroquois,' referring to the Native American tribe. As a personal name, it follows the American trend of creating rhythmic, multi-syllabic names with a cool, musical edge.
