History & Origin
Jaimy is a variant spelling of Jamie, the Scottish pet form of James. James goes back through Latin and Greek to the Hebrew Jacob, understood as supplanter or one who follows, and that is the meaning carried down to Jaimy. Jamie became widely unisex through the twentieth century, and softened girl spellings like Jaimy and Jaimie appear in United States records from the nineteen-seventies onward.
It stayed uncommon, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high, so a Jaimy from then would be in her forties today. It reads as a personal spelling twist on a familiar name rather than a distinct name of its own.
