Origin
Meaning and history of Jaybin
The name Jaybin is believed to have originated from the ancient Sanskrit language, which was the root for many modern Indian languages. The name is thought to be derived from the Sanskrit word "jaya," meaning victory or triumph, and "bin," which is a variation of the word "vindu," meaning drop or bead.
In Hindu mythology, the concept of victory and triumph holds significant importance. The name Jaybin may have been bestowed upon individuals with the intention of invoking a sense of success and accomplishment in their lives. It is also possible that the name was associated with certain celestial bodies or deities revered in ancient Hindu traditions.
One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Jaybin can be found in the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata, which dates back to around the 8th century BCE. In this epic, there is a character named Jaybin who is described as a brave warrior and a skilled archer. However, it is unclear whether this character was based on a real historical figure or was purely fictional.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Jaybin. One such individual was Jaybin Singh, a 16th-century ruler of the Rajput clan in northern India. He was known for his military prowess and his efforts to expand the territories under his control.
Another prominent figure with the name Jaybin was Jaybin Dutta, a renowned Bengali poet and playwright who lived in the 19th century. He was celebrated for his contributions to the Bengali literary tradition and his works often explored themes of love, loss, and the human condition.
In the realm of art and culture, Jaybin Ghosh was a famous Indian painter and sculptor from the early 20th century. His works were heavily influenced by the Bengal Renaissance movement and often depicted scenes from Hindu mythology and rural life.
Jaybin Patel was a prominent Indian freedom fighter who participated in the struggle for independence from British rule in the early 20th century. He was imprisoned several times for his involvement in various non-violent protests and civil disobedience movements.
Lastly, Jaybin Kapoor was a renowned Indian cricketer who played for the national team in the 1970s and 1980s. He was known for his exceptional batting skills and his ability to score runs consistently against some of the best bowling attacks of his time.
While the name Jaybin may not be as common today as it once was, its rich historical significance and association with victory, triumph, and accomplishment continue to make it a meaningful and unique name choice.

FAQ
Jaybin: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jaybin?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jaybin 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Jaybin a common name?
We classify Jaybin as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jaybin most popular?
The single biggest year for Jaybin was 2007, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jaybin is about 19 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 Jaybin in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jaybin a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jaybin 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 Jaybin still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jaybin 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 Jaybin 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.
