History & Origin
Jaimi respells Jamie, the friendly short form of James, which comes through Latin from the Hebrew Ya'aqov, 'supplanter.' As Jamie crossed over to girls in the later twentieth century, spellings like Jaimi, Jami, and Jaimee sprang up to feminize the look.
Jaimi was most common around 1976 and lingered rarely into the twenty-tens. A woman named Jaimi at the peak is in her late forties today. It reads as a seventies-and-eighties girls' spelling of Jamie rather than a name on the rise.
