Origin
Meaning and history of Jaswin
The name Jaswin is a relatively modern name that is believed to have originated in the 20th century, possibly as a combination of the names Jason and Edwin. It does not have a clear linguistic or cultural origin, but its components suggest a mix of Greek and English influences.
The name Jason is derived from the Greek mythological hero Jason, who was the leader of the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece. The name Edwin, on the other hand, has Old English roots, composed of the elements "ead" meaning "wealth" or "fortune," and "wine" meaning "friend."
There are no known historical references or appearances of the name Jaswin in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or significant historical records. Its modern usage likely began in the late 20th century, possibly as a creative name combination by parents.
Due to its relatively recent origin, there are few notable historical figures with the name Jaswin. However, here are a few examples of individuals who have borne this name:
1. Jaswin Bharti (born 1993) is an Indian cricketer who has played for the Delhi Ranji Trophy team.
2. Jaswin Singha (born 1995) is an Indian footballer who plays as a defender for the Indian Super League club Bengaluru FC.

FAQ
Jaswin: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jaswin?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jaswin 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 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Jaswin a common name?
We classify Jaswin as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jaswin most popular?
The single biggest year for Jaswin was 2019, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jaswin is about 7 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 Jaswin in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jaswin a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jaswin 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 Jaswin still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jaswin 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 Jaswin 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.
