The name Jamima is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'beloved'. It is derived from the Hebrew word 'y'mayim', which translates to 'twins'. This name was popularized in the Western world through Charlotte Brontë's classic novel 'Jane Eyre', where a character named Bertha Mason is often referred to as the 'madwoman in the attic' or simply 'the first Mrs. Rochester'. In some cultures, Jamima may also be associated with the Persian name Jamal, meaning 'beauty', due to its similar pronunciation.
"Jamima saw only six births in the year 1918."
