What is the meaning of your name? 

Not actually 100% sure on the meaning, but I was named after the dog, Jake.

Mum and Dad wanted to name me Jake, but as it was the dogs name they couldn’t. So, they just dropped the “K” and named me Jae instead.

Upon research the name Jae is of English and Korean origins. The different meanings of the name Jae are:

Korean meaning: Respect

English meaning: Jay bird
