Jametrius is of African origin, derived from the Swahili name 'Jamei', meaning 'God will raise'. It gained prominence in the United States during the late 20th century, particularly within the African American community.
"Jametrius experienced a peak in popularity between 2003 and 2004 with five births each year, followed by another spike in 2015 with six births. However, the name's usage has been quite sporadic overall, with only 27 total births recorded since 1996."
