How to Pronounce Jameia
Pronounced juh-MEE-uh /dʒəˈmiː.ə/Medium
Meaning: Jameia is a coined American name, best read as a form of Jamia, itself a feminine spin on Jamie and James, or as a 'Ja-' prefixed invention. James descends from the Hebrew Jacob, 'supplanter' or 'one who takes the heel,' so through Jamia the name carries a faint tie to that root. We present it modestly.Low

History & Origin
Jameia is an invented American name, most plausibly a spelling of Jamia, a feminine form built on Jamie and James, or a 'Ja-' prefixed coinage in its own right. James comes ultimately from the Hebrew Jacob, 'supplanter.' Jameia's charm is chiefly its sound, and we trace its likely parent honestly rather than assigning a single firm meaning.
Jameia was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak around 2007. A girl named Jameia then is in her late teens today.
