Originating from the United States, the name Jamee is of American coinage. It's a modern variant of Jamie, which itself is a Scottish pet form of James. While James is derived from the Latin 'Jacobus', meaning 'supplanter' in reference to Jacob in the Bible, Jamee offers a unique twist on this classic name.
The name Jamee experienced a significant increase in popularity from the late 1940s to the mid-1970s, with a peak of 90 births recorded in 1985. Since then, its usage has steadily declined, with only 6 births reported in 2020.
