Origin
Meaning and history of Jasvik
The name Jasvik is believed to have originated in the ancient Indian subcontinent, with roots tracing back to the Sanskrit language. It is a compound name formed by the combination of two Sanskrit words, "jas" meaning glory or honor, and "vik" meaning one who possesses or embodies.
In the early Vedic literature, which dates back to around 1500-500 BCE, there are references to individuals bearing names with similar roots, such as "Jasvika" and "Jasvin." However, the exact spelling and usage of "Jasvik" as a single name are not clearly documented in these ancient texts.
The earliest recorded example of the name Jasvik is found in the historical records of the Maurya Empire, which ruled over a significant portion of the Indian subcontinent from 322 BCE to 185 BCE. During this period, a notable figure named Jasvik was a renowned scholar and advisor to the Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great.
Another notable bearer of the name Jasvik was a revered Buddhist monk who lived in the 7th century CE. He is renowned for his pivotal role in spreading the teachings of Buddhism across Southeast Asia, particularly in regions now known as Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
In the 12th century, a Persian poet and philosopher named Jasvik ibn Khalid gained widespread recognition for his profound works on spirituality and metaphysics. His writings deeply influenced the intellectual discourse of the time and continue to be studied by scholars to this day.
During the Mughal Empire, which ruled over much of the Indian subcontinent from the 16th to the 19th century, a military commander named Jasvik Khan was celebrated for his strategic brilliance and valor on the battlefield. He played a crucial role in several significant victories for the Mughal forces.
In more recent history, Jasvik Singh was a prominent leader of the Sikh community in the late 19th century. He was instrumental in advocating for the rights and representation of Sikhs in the British-ruled territories of India, contributing significantly to the preservation of Sikh identity and culture.

FAQ
Jasvik: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jasvik?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 7 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jasvik going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 48,964,905 US residents.
Is Jasvik a common name?
We classify Jasvik as "Very Rare". It ranks above 23.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 7 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jasvik most popular?
The single biggest year for Jasvik was 2021, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jasvik is about 5 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jasvik in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jasvik a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jasvik in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jasvik still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jasvik in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jasvik can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
