Boy / Girl name · 353 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jaime: 353 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 19 births in 1977.

Jaime is a Spanish and Portuguese form of the name Jacob, ultimately from the Hebrew Ya'aqov, traditionally meaning "supplanter" or "holder of the heel." Famous bearers include the legendary Spanish knight El Cid's father-in-law, Count Jaime of Barcelona, and the prolific medieval King James I of Aragon, known as Jaume el Conqueridor. The name also gained modern visibility through the British actor Jaime Murray. As a place connection, note that while the name itself doesn't directly name a location, its root Jacobus gave us the city of Santiago in Spain. Notably, Jaime is unisex, used for both boys and girls, especially after the character Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones boosted its international profile.
