      Meaning

      Form of James

      Variations

      Jameel, Jameela, James
      The name Jamese is derived from the English language and is a variant form of the name James. The name James itself has its origins in Hebrew, deriving from the name Yaakov or Jacob, which means supplanter or one who follows. As such, Jamese is essentially a feminized version of James, often used to distinguish it as a female name.

      In historical usage, the name Jamese can be seen in various contexts. While the name James itself has been borne by numerous notable figures throughout history, including biblical characters and monarchs, Jamese as a derivative form is less commonly found in historical records. However, it is worth noting that gender-neutral and feminized versions of traditional male names have become increasingly popular in recent times, reflecting shifts in naming conventions and societal perceptions. Today, the name Jamese is used in modern contexts, where it represents a fusion of tradition and contemporary naming practices. It continues to reflect the enduring popularity of James as a cherished name while providing a distinct and individualistic flair.
