Jamima

Jamima is a feminine name representing an alternative spelling of the biblical Jemima, who was the first daughter of Job in the Old Testament. Derived from Hebrew origins, the name means 'dove' or 'day.' This spelling variation has gained some usage in various English-speaking countries, though it remains less common than the traditional Jemima form. The name evokes qualities of gentleness, peace, and beauty associated with doves in biblical tradition. While some may associate the name with the Jemima brand of pancake products in the United States, in other parts of the world, particularly the UK, Australia, and parts of Africa, the name maintains its biblical associations without this commercial connection. Jamima offers a subtle variation for parents seeking a name with biblical roots but a slightly distinctive spelling.

Pronounced juh-MY-muh.
