Jimetta is a unique and distinctive name of African American origin, derived from the Arabic male name Jamal. It means "beautiful" or "handsome," implying that it carries an inherent elegance and charm. The name Jimetta has been popular among African Americans since the mid-20th century but remains relatively rare outside this community. It typically bears two syllables, /dʒɪˈmɛtə/, and is often associated with warmth, strength, and individuality due to its historical usage and cultural significance.
The name Jimetta was quite popular in 1948 with five recorded births that year. However, it appears this popularity was short-lived as there are no other reported births under this name in subsequent years.
