History & Origin

Jamielyn takes Jamie, the friendly short form of James, and adds -lyn, the ending that reshaped countless girls' names in recent decades. James itself means 'supplanter', from the Hebrew Jacob, and that meaning carries through to this modern, two-part coinage.

It has never been common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high around 1983. Bearers are mostly younger adults, in keeping with the recent -lyn fashion.

Did you know? Jamielyn belongs to the crowd of -lyn compounds, Jaylin, Kaylin and Brooklyn among them, that parents built by adding the soft ending to a favorite name.
