Jaimey
Jaimey Origin and Meaning
Jaimey is a masculine name that functions as a variant spelling of Jamie, which itself originated as a diminutive form of James. The name ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Jacob (Ya'akov), meaning 'supplanter.' This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining its familiar pronunciation. Jaimey emerged as a spelling variant primarily in the late 20th century, when creative spellings of traditional names became more popular. While Jamie has been used for both boys and girls (more commonly for boys in the UK and for girls in the US), Jaimey tends to be used predominantly for boys. The name carries a friendly, approachable quality with its diminutive nature, yet its unusual spelling adds a touch of individuality.
