Jahzir is a modern American coinage built from the fashionable Jah- opening of names like Jahmir and Jahziel, where Jah can be read as a short form of the Hebrew name of God, and the -zir ending of Nazir and Zahir, Arabic for "radiant" or "shining". It has no traditional meaning of its own. Jahzir had fewer than five births in 2000, moved up from number 6111 in 2015 and reached number 2657 in 2025, its highest rank yet, with 49 boys.
