Modern invented name, possibly meaning the heel or supplanter
Jaquay is a modern American name likely created by combining the prefix 'Ja-' with the name Quay or as a creative variation of Jacob. If linked to Jacob, it shares the Hebrew root meaning 'supplanter' or 'to follow'. It emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend of rhythmic, multi-syllabic names in African American communities.
