About the name Jarvis

Jarvis is the English worn-down version of the Norman Gervase, and centuries of pronunciation have left it sounding crisp and faintly butlerish. Between a Britpop frontman and a fictional AI it has picked up more cultural baggage than most names of its rarity.

Jarvis is a boy name of Germanic (Norman) origin, pronounced JAR-vis. On the NameRarity scale it scores 81 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
