Jaymie Origin and Meaning

The name Jaymie is a boy's name.

Jaymie is a masculine name that represents a modern, creative spelling variation of Jamie, which itself originated as a diminutive form of James. Derived ultimately from the Hebrew name Ya'akov (Jacob), meaning 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel,' Jaymie emerged primarily in the late 20th century when alternative spellings became fashionable. The distinctive 'y' spelling gives the name a unique touch while maintaining the familiar pronunciation.

The name carries a friendly, approachable quality while the unusual spelling adds individuality and contemporary flair.
