What does Jazz mean?
1 syllable

As a name, Jazz can serve as a short, punchy form of names like Jasper, Jasmine, or James, or stand on its own as a nod to jazz, the improvisational musical genre that grew out of early 20th-century African American communities in the United States.

Jazz has a bright, syncopated energy — a great fit for a pet with a lively, spring-in-their-step personality.
