My wee girl is called Jette. A Dutch name meaning “Home Ruler” which she suits perfectly. She is one of 2 Jette’s born here in Scotland, my daughter in 2020 and the other 20 years before her according to national records in Scotland. I love the fact that she has such a unique and distinctive name and I receive so many compliments on it!

Jett is a great unisex name, but I really like it as a girl's name! It makes me think of Joan Jett and because of that I think of Jett as a cool, artistic, punk rocker chick. I think Jett combined with a more feminine sounding middle name would be an excellent choice for someone wanting something modern for a name.

Cool, masculine name — makes me think of a man with a little bit of mystery to him.

I think that Jet, Jett, and Jette could also be good nicknames for Jeanette/Jeannette, Marinette, Annette, Jacquette, and other names with a similar sound.

Jet, Jett, and Jette are so pretty! For a girl, I would use this as a nickname for Harriet/Henriette, Mariette, Margaret, Juliette, or Georgette. :)

We named our son Jet. He has black hair. For some reason the double TTs looked feminine to me even though it’s a more popular spelling. My kids like it because it is a character on Avatar.

I really like Jette for a girl as a nickname for Henriette or Harriet and Jett for a boy. I don't like the spelling Jett for a girl or Jette for a boy and they aren't interchangeable for me because of their separate origins.

Jett is a great boy's name - strong, and masculine. It has Danish roots, both as a surname (for people of Jutland peninsula) and as a first name (it is related to the Danish female name Jetta, or Yetta). It also has French roots from the province of Anjou, where as a surname, Jett was derived from the male given name of Yehuda or Judah, which was the Biblical name of Jacob's eldest son.
It is a common surname in the U.S. and elsewhere, and while still uncommon as a first name, it's gaining in popularity according the the Social Security Administration and various name sites.
Notable name bearers include Jett Thomas (an American military officer and builder from the early 1800s), Jett Travolta (John Travolta's son) and Jett Lucas (George Lucas' son). Jett Rink was James Dean's character in the 1950's film Giant.

My one year old son's name is Jett Black. Most people LOVE his name. Those who don't care for it are typically the same ones who like more popular, traditional and generic names such as John, Mike, Jim, etc. My name is Shanna. Growing up, I loved that my name was different from everyone else's! I went to an all girls Catholic high school. In one classroom of 28 girls, we had 5 Melissa's and 7 Jennifer's. Talk about confusing! I loved having my own identity and never being confused for anyone else. My son now has a different and very strong name! I agree with an above comment... This name will make him strong, light-hearted, give him a sense of humor, and a strong, memorable identity. He WILL own his name! :)

For me this name has been nothing but a blessing. It brought me strength and confidence because I will be honest, people did and do comment on it. But my mom was awesome in how she taught me to address it and now it almost makes me laugh when people make fun of my amazing name. It is a very strong name and it will contribute to a very strong personality. It will take people off guard when you introduce yourself as Jett; and for those bearing this name we don't have a problem with that. It is intense, dramatic, to the point and unique and every Jett I have had the honor to meet, be they male or female have had some serious confidence and good humor about this name. But it comes with some serious attitude too, so be prepared for that. And we get really excited when we meet others who bear our name ;)

I like this name for a boy, HOWEVER I personally hate it spelled with two t's; it's SO much better with just one t at the end as that's the proper spelling of the black gemstone.

I wish they would add "Jet" to the site. My great grandfather's sisters were all named after precious stones, and one was named Jet. This was in the late 1800s, so it's been used as a female name for at least 100 years. I think "Jet" is an awesome name, and a cool alternative to more common gemstone names. Not so much on "Jett".

Jet with one t was a character in the popular cartoon series Avatar: The Last Airbender. He's a character obsessed with getting vengeance on the Fire Nation (who killed his family) and is willing to kill innocents to do so. He lead a group of orphans called The Freedom Fighters and constantly chewed a piece of hay or wheat that stuck out of his mouth.

I picture a 50s greaser with a leather jacket (complete with the cigarette pack in the front pocket) wearing sunglasses and smoking against a brick wall. That, or a member of an 80s power metal band.
