Jarvis

Jarvis is a name used as both a surname and a given name in English-speaking countries. It has been adopted by various real and fictional figures, and it is widely recognized in popular culture because of its association with a prominent artificial intelligence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the MCU, J.A.R.V.I.S. stands for Just A Rather Very Intelligent System. It is an advanced AI created by Tony Stark to run his armor systems, assist with research, and manage communications. The character appears as a voiced interface and internal system, playing a central role across several Iron Man and Avengers films. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, the J.A.R.V.I.S. program is merged into the physical form of Vision, contributing to the creation of that character. In later films, Stark employs a new AI named FRIDAY, or Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant, Youth, as a successor.

Outside the Marvel setting, Jarvis continues to exist as a personal name and is used in other fictional works and branding. As a result, Jarvis remains a widely recognized reference for intelligent software in popular culture, even when the specific implementations vary.
