Meaning and background
The story behind Deejay
Deejay is a phonetic spelling of DJ, itself an abbreviation of disc jockey. The term developed in broadcasting and recorded-music culture before becoming a convenient playful name. Its two pronounced syllables are immediately recognisable in English, though it does not carry the historical derivation of an inherited surname. Deejay will especially appeal as a sound-based or musical reference.
