JAY-seeListen

Jaycee is a unisex name pronounced JAY-see, and its roots are simple: per Wiktionary, it's a respelling of the initials "J.C." You may come across claims that it means "healer" or "the Lord is salvation" as a variant of Jace or Jacey, but that isn't supported — Jaycee traces back to the initialism itself, not to those Hebrew-derived names. If a name built from initials rather than a traditional meaning appeals to you, it works for either a son or a daughter.
