Meaning & origin
Jaimie is a feminine spelling variant of Jamie, which itself functions as a unisex diminutive of James. The name first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1946, but its use grew steadily through the 1970s and peaked in 1987, when it reached its highest rank. Since then, the name has been on a consistent decline, reflecting broader trends in which once-popular creative spellings of Jamie have given way to newer fashionable names. Despite its fall from the peak, Jaimie remains a recognizable choice, used for about 1 in every 321,453 girls as of 2025.
Jaimie is a variant spelling of Jamie, itself a diminutive of James. James is the English form of the Latin Iacomus, derived from the Hebrew Ya'aqov (Jacob). The name Jacob, meaning 'supplanter' or 'heel grabber,' has deep roots in the Old Testament. Jaimie emerged as a feminine given name in the mid-20th century, alongside other creative spellings of Jamie, often chosen to emphasize the feminine form.
