Jaymie is a unisex given name of American origin, derived from the name Jamie which itself is a diminutive form of James. It gained popularity during the late 20th century, often chosen for its unique sound and spelling while still being recognizable as a derivation of a classic name. In terms of demographics, Jaymie was more commonly given to girls than boys in the United States during the years it peaked in popularity, between 1985 and 2000. However, it is also considered a gender-neutral name today, with both boys and girls being named Jaymie. The name has not been particularly popular outside of North America but has made occasional appearances in other English-speaking countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom. There are no significant historical figures or literary characters associated with the name Jaymie; its appeal lies primarily in its modern sound and versatile spelling options, including variations like Jaimey, Jamieson, and Jaimeson.
"Jaymie saw its peak popularity in the late 1970s to early 1980s, with a significant rise from 16 births in 1974 to 21 births in 1976. After that, the name's usage fluctuated but remained relatively stable until the mid-1990s when it began to decline. From 2000 onwards, Jaymie has been quite uncommon, with fewer than 10 births per year."
