Jaime-Lee

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jaime-Lee: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1997.

As a double-barrelled name combining Jaime and the popular middle name Lee, Jaime-Lee first appeared on Scottish birth registers in the late 1990s, reflecting a modern trend for hyphenated names. Jaime itself is a Spanish and English form of James, derived from the Hebrew Ya’aqov, meaning “supplanter” or “one who follows.” Lee, from Old English leah, means “clearing” or “meadow.” For famous figures, the name has been carried by Spanish actor Jaime Lorente, known for his role in *Money Heist*, and Welsh actress Jaime Winstone. The Lee element shares its root with many Scottish places like Lee in Lanarkshire. Notably, the name surged in popularity in Scotland around the same time as other hyphenated girls’ names such as Sarah-Jane and Ellie-Mae.
