Jamison is English in Origin.
Jamison is an English and Scottish patronymic formed from James + -son, literally "son of James." James ultimately traces to the Hebrew Ya'aqov (Jacob) via Latin Iacobus/Iacomus and Old French James, giving the name an inherited sense of "supplanter" or "one who follows." As a surname it marked lineage, common in Scotland and Northern England, and later migrated to Ireland and North America.
As a given name, Jamison emerged from the modern fashion for surnames-as-first-names, rising steadily in the United States and Canada from the late 20th century. It is used mainly for boys but occasionally for girls. Close variants include Jameson (the most prevalent spelling) and Jamieson (particularly Scottish); less common forms are Jemison and Jimmison. Short forms and nicknames include Jamie, Jame, Jamey, Jay, and Jim. Jamison balances a tailored, contemporary sound with traditional roots, appealing to parents seeking a familiar yet distinctive alternative to James.
