Jaimey is an ambitious name perfect for the go-getters and dream chasers of the world. This fabulously modern variant of James can be found as far back as the New Testament, with connections to multiple disciples and even the brother of Jesus. Jaimey's origins lie in the Hebrew Yaʿakov, which means "to follow" or "to be behind," referenced in the birth of Isaac's son, Jacob, who came after his elder twin Esau. Jaimey is also linked to the Latin Iacobus, the French James, the Spanish Jaime, and the Scottish Jamie, all sharing the meaning "a supplanter" and "one that takes by the heel." Known as a gender-neutral name since the 19th century, Jaimey is a choice for the creatives and the artists of this world. Notable bearers include Jaimey Hamilton, a Canadian country singer with a knack for storytelling through upbeat tunes, and Jaimey Fisher, a professor at UC Davis who shines in Cinema and Digital Media.
