Jamielynn
Meaning of Jamielynn
Jamielynn, pronounced JAY-mee-lin (/dʒeɪˈmiliːn/), is a contemporary Anglo-American feminine given name formed through the concatenation of “Jamie,” itself a vernacular diminutive of the Hebrew Yaʿaqōv (Jacob), and “Lynn,” a Welsh-derived topographic element meaning “lake.” First recorded in U.S. birth registers in the mid-1970s, its annual rank has oscillated within the 750–960 range: during the 1980s it typically held positions in the low- to mid-700s, ascended into the 840–860 bracket in the early 1990s, and stabilized around 930–950 throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, with its highest recorded frequencies—27 and 28 newborns—occurring in 2007 and 2008 respectively. Since that apex, Jamielynn has exhibited a gradual decline, registering eight occurrences (rank 936) in 2022 and five (rank 945) in 2024. This trajectory illustrates the name’s sustained yet subdued presence in American onomastics, reflecting broader trends in parental preference for blended appellations that balance etymological resonance with phonetic symmetry.
