Jamze

English variation of Jacob, Hebrew

"supplanter"

Jamze Origin and Meaning

The name Jamze is a boy's name.

Jamze appears to be a contemporary masculine name variation of James. While James derives from the Hebrew name Jacob (Ya'akov) meaning 'supplanter,' Jamze represents a unique phonetic reinterpretation. The addition of 'z' creates a distinctive spelling while likely maintaining the traditional pronunciation. Unlike James, which has been consistently popular across English-speaking countries for centuries, Jamze is exceedingly rare. It offers families the familiar sound and biblical heritage of James while providing an unconventional spelling. This modern variant might appeal to parents seeking a familiar-sounding name with a unique written form, though it may require frequent spelling clarification throughout life.
