History & Origin
Jammi is one of the breezy -i spellings that flourished in the 1970s, a girl's take on Jamie and Jammie. The line runs back through James to the Hebrew Jacob, 'supplanter,' so a very old name arrives here in its most casual, sunny form.
Jammi was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year around 1976 during the peak of the Jamie and Tammi era. A girl named Jammi then is in her late forties today, her name a snapshot of 1970s informality.
