Modern phonetic combination of the letters R and J
Rjay is a modern American invention, likely created as a phonetic spelling of the initials 'R.J.' It follows a contemporary trend of turning initial-based nicknames into formal first names. Because it is a modern coinage, it does not have a traditional etymological root beyond the English alphabet.
