Jamei

Jamei is a gender-neutral name that's created by switching around Jamie's final two letters. Both Jamei and Jamie are shortened forms of James, an English variant of the Hebrew Jacob or Yaʿaqov. Meaning "supplanter" or "holder of the heel," Jamei brings to mind the biblical story of Jacob, who held his twin brother's heel to prevent him from being born first. While your sweet Jamei is unlikely to do such a thing, their name could represent the ways you'll teach them to follow their own lead! Every time they choose a new favorite toy or take a minute to decide their next steps, your Jamei will demonstrate their independence.
