Jaimee Origin and Meaning

The name Jaimee is a girl's name.

Jaimee is a feminine name that represents an alternative spelling of Jamie, which originated as a diminutive form of James. James comes from the Hebrew name Ya'akov (Jacob), meaning 'supplanter' or 'one who follows.' This spelling variation with the double 'e' ending became popular in the late 20th century as parents sought more feminine-looking versions of traditionally unisex names. Jaimee peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but has gradually declined since then. The name maintains the friendly, approachable quality of Jamie while the spelling gives it a distinctive touch. Jaimee is typically pronounced the same as Jamie (JAY-mee).
