Jaimee
Jaimee Origin and Meaning
Jaimee is primarily a masculine variation of Jamie, though it can be used for any gender. The name originated as a diminutive form of James, which itself comes from the Hebrew name Jacob (Ya'akov), meaning 'supplanter.' This particular spelling gained popularity in the late 20th century as parents sought more distinctive ways to spell familiar names. The double 'e' ending adds a contemporary touch to the traditional Jamie. While less common than the standard spelling, Jaimee has maintained steady usage, particularly in English-speaking countries. The name carries the friendly, approachable quality of Jamie while standing out thanks to its unique orthography. Its versatility and connection to the classic James give it both novelty and timeless appeal.
