It seems to blend the trendy initial element Jay (itself a short form of names like Jason or a standalone name) with the suffix -co, a pattern seen in occasional American coinages. No historical or linguistic derivation exists. Its appearance may have been influenced by the Jayco brand of RVs and campers, a well-known American manufacturer.
