Named after John Bernard Jago Trelawney, who was an American mineral collector from California, USA and was a great benefactor of mineral collections. Jagoite is a rare mineral that occurs in hematite ore in metamorphosed iron-manganese orebodies in only one locality in the world at Langban in Sweden. Associated minerals include melanotekite and quartz.
