Jimme is an uncommon and unique male given name of American origin. It is believed to have emerged as a variant spelling of popular names like Jimmy, which itself is a diminutive of James. The name Jimme has been sparsely used throughout history but has gained some traction in recent years due to its distinctive sound and modern feel. Despite its relative obscurity, it carries the same root meaning as its more popular counterparts, typically associated with "supplanter" or "held by the heel," referencing the Biblical story of Jacob wrestling an angel. In terms of popularity, Jimme is not among the top-ranked names in recent years, but it has appeared occasionally in social security records since the 1970s.
"Jimme is not a particularly popular baby name; it has only been given to 17 babies since 1948."
