Jimmie is in Origin.
Jimmie is an English diminutive of James formed via Jim, built on the affectionate -ie ending common in Scots and northern English pet names. It ultimately traces to Hebrew Ya‘aqov through Latin Iacobus, giving the sense “supplanter” or “holder of the heel.” Though chiefly masculine, Jimmie has been used as a unisex given name. Close variants include Jimmy, Jimmi, and Jimi; related short forms are Jim and Jamie. Broader cognates in the James/Jacob family include Séamas/Seamus, Jaime, Iago, Diego, Tiago, and Giacomo.
The -ie spelling surged in English-speaking records from the late 19th century and was widely used in the United States through the mid-1900s, with notable female usage in the 1920s-50s. Bearers include country pioneer Jimmie Rodgers, baseball great Jimmie Foxx, Louisiana governor-singer Jimmie Davis, bandleader Jimmie Lunceford, and NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. Today it reads as a friendly, vintage-leaning choice or a casual nickname.
