Jame
Jame Origin and Meaning
Jame is a masculine name that can be considered a shortened form of James, which derives from the Hebrew name Jacob (Ya'akov), meaning 'supplanter' or 'one who follows.' Despite its connection to one of history's most enduring male names, Jame as a standalone name remains uncommon. In some cultures, particularly in parts of Asia, Jame may have different origins and meanings. The name has a simple, straightforward quality with its single syllable and clean pronunciation. While not widely used, it offers a minimalist alternative to the more traditional James, appealing to parents who prefer shorter names while maintaining a connection to classical naming traditions.
