Gender: M
Origin: Scottish variation of JAMES
Meaning: "supplanter"
A name that's not unknown here, but still redolent of Olde Scotland. If you're ready to go further than Duncan and Malcolm, way out to Laird and Ewan territory, this may be worth consideration. It also sounds just like the Yiddish word for homey.
