Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Jami: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1992.
A fresh spelling of Jamie—itself the Scottish diminutive of James—Jami ultimately traces back to the Hebrew Yaakov, meaning “supplanter” or “one who follows”. Most famously it belongs to American actress Jami Gertz, known for her roles in *The Lost Boys* and *Twister*. While no place is directly named after Jami, the root James has left a deep mark on Scotland: think of the Royal Mile’s St James Square or the many King James connections from Edinburgh Castle to the King James Bible. As a variant, Jami offers a leaner, more modern take on a classic, and in Scotland it remains genuinely unisex, sitting comfortably alongside the more traditional Jamie.
