Jasiri
Meaning of Jasiri
Jasiri is a unisex name of Swahili origin that literally means “brave” or “courageous,” offering parents a gender-neutral choice grounded in pan-African heritage. Pronounced /dʒɑˈsɪri/ in English, it conveys an association with resilience and inner strength without leaning toward either traditional masculine or feminine conventions. In the United States, Jasiri has appeared in newborn registries since the late 1990s, typically ranking between 787 and 931 and recording fewer than 20 occurrences annually. Its most recent counts—17 babies in both 2023 and 2024—landed it at rank 907, a plateau that underscores steady, if modest, interest. An analytical review of these figures reveals a subtle upward drift over the past five years, suggesting that Jasiri’s combination of meaningful origin, unisex versatility, and relative rarity may increasingly resonate with parents seeking a technically sound yet distinctive name.
