Origin & Meaning
AI-WrittenDerives from the mineral noun for polished black fossilized wood, originating in Old French jaiet from the ancient Lycian town of Gagae.

First Impressions

With an average age around ten, an encounter with a Jett is far more likely to involve elementary school drop-off than boardroom negotiations. It moves with the brisk, clipped momentum of an action verb rather than an heirloom. The typical bearer is currently trying to convince someone to let him ride his bicycle without a helmet.
