Jez (nickname)

Jez is a nickname, most commonly shorthand for the given name Jeremy (roughly homophonous to "Jers" in non-rhotic accents), Jezebel, Jeremiah, Jerahmeel and Jezreel, particularly in the United Kingdom and United States.

The Jez nickname can often be extended to form other nicknames, still based on the name Jezreel, such as Jezza, Jezzie or Jizz.
