It reached its highest popularity in 1976, but has been on a downward trend since 1985. The name is relatively rare today, not appearing in recent top 1000 rankings and lacking a current 1-in-N frequency from the latest data. Its origins are English, likely a variant of Jamie, and it has been used for both girls and boys, though more often for girls. The spelling Jammie adds an extra 'm' compared to the more common Jamie, giving it a unique touch.
