Jimmel is of Scottish and Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic name Seamus, which means 'supplanter' or 'he who takes the place of another'. It is a variant spelling of James, an English form of the Latin name Iacomus, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Jacob. Jimmel has been used in Scotland and Ireland for centuries, with some notable bearers including Scottish poet James Macpherson, known for his Ossian cycle, and Irish politician James Hoban, who designed the White House in Washington D.C.
"From 1979 to 1997, there were a total of 22 children named Jimmel born."
