Jaimis is in Origin.

Jaimis is a rare modern given name most plausibly derived from James through the pet form Jamie and the Spanish/Portuguese Jaime, with possible echo of the Irish Séamus. Its deep root traces to Late Latin Iacomus, from Greek Iakobos and ultimately Hebrew Yaʿaqov, commonly interpreted as “supplanter” or “holder of the heel.”

Though Jaimis itself has scant historical record, it stands on the substantial legacy of James - name of two New Testament apostles, numerous medieval rulers, and many saints - ensuring familiar resonance. Likely pronunciations include JAY-miss and JAY-mus. Close variants and cognates include James, Jamie, Jaimie, Jaime, Seamus/Séamus, Hamish, Giacomo, Jacques, Diego, Iago, Tiago, and Santiago; feminine or unisex relatives include Jamie and Jaime. Alternative spellings such as Jamis or Jaymis also appear. The meaning carried across these forms remains “supplanter,” with modern associations of steadiness and classic style softened by the approachable, nickname-like sound.
