Boy / Girl name · 19 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Jaymie: 19 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 4 births in 2006.
Jaymie is a modern respelling of Jamie, the classic Scottish diminutive of James—itself the English form of the Hebrew name Ya’akov, meaning “supplanter.” While no major historical figure bears this exact spelling, the name shares its lineage with King James VI of Scotland (who became James I of England) and with actor Jamie Foxx. A place like Jamestown, Virginia, takes its name from the same James root. As a unisex choice, Jaymie gained popularity in Scotland from the 1980s onward, offering a fresh, phonetic twist on a timeless favourite. Its variant Jaymee also appears, but Jaymie remains the most common Scottish spelling for girls, reflecting a trend toward personalised, streamlined names.
