Meaning & origin
Jamere is a modern American name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1980, reflecting the trend of inventive names with the 'Ja-' prefix. Its peak came in 2009, when it was most frequently chosen for newborn boys, but its use has been steadily declining since then. By 2025, it ranked 3,513th in popularity, with an estimated 1 in 53,377 newborns receiving the name. The name has not been among the top names in any particular state, suggesting a diffuse but modest presence across the country.
Jamere is a modern American coinage, likely formed from the popular 'Ja-' prefix (as in Jamal, Javon) combined with the syllable 'mere', possibly influenced by the name Jamir. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1980 and saw peak usage in the 2000s, but its exact derivation is unattested.
