Jaimie Origin and Meaning

The name Jaimie is a girl's name.

Jaimie is a feminine variation of James, which ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Jacob (Yaakov), meaning 'supplanter' or 'one who follows.' This charming spelling variant gained popularity in the late 20th century as parents sought more distinctive ways to spell familiar names. Though traditionally a female name in this form, Jaimie can occasionally be used as a unisex name. It offers a more playful and modern alternative to Jamie, while maintaining the friendly, approachable quality that makes it appealing. In the United States, Jaimie reached its peak popularity during the 1970s and 1980s but remains a recognizable choice for girls.
