Jaimie Origin and Meaning
The name Jaimie is a boy's name.
Jaimie as a masculine name is a variation of Jamie, which originated as a diminutive form of James. The name James comes from the Hebrew name Jacob, meaning 'supplanter' or 'one who follows.' This particular spelling with the extra 'i' adds a distinctive touch to the traditional Jamie while maintaining its friendly, approachable character. While Jamie/Jaimie is used for both genders, for boys it has Scottish roots where it began as a nickname before becoming a given name in its own right. Though less common than the spelling Jamie, masculine Jaimie has maintained steady if modest usage, appealing to parents who appreciate its friendly sound and relaxed vibe while wanting a slight variation from the more common spelling.
