Jaimee springs from the Spanish name Jaime—a sunlit cousin to James—and ultimately traces its roots to the Hebrew Yaakov, meaning “supplanter” or “he who holds the heel.” Its playful –ee ending feels like a flamenco flourish atop a beloved refrain, transforming a time-honored melody into something fresh and bright. Pronounced JAY-mee (/dʒeɪˈmi/), Jaimee evokes the warmth of lantern-lit courtyards and carries associations of creativity, independence, and effervescent charm. In the United States it first waltzed into the Top 700 during the 1970s before gracefully pirouetting to a quieter spot—today ranked 945 with just five newborns in 2024—each new Jaimee a singular burst of bougainvillea in bloom, with just enough flair to stand out on the first day of kindergarten.
