Jimson is of American origin and its meaning is derived from the English word 'jimson', which refers to the plant species Datura stramonium, also known as thorn apple or jimsonweed. This plant is native to America and has been used in traditional medicine for its hallucinogenic properties. The name Jimson therefore carries a connection to nature and American heritage.
"Jimson is quite rare; only 12 babies have been named Jimson over nearly two decades, with a notable gap of 19 years between the first and second recorded births."
