Jamie: meaning and origin
Jamie started out in Scotland. Behind the Name says it was originally a Lowland Scots diminutive of James, and that since the late 19th century it has also been used as a feminine name. Wikipedia describes Jamie as a unisex name of Scots origin, traditionally masculine, which can be a pet form of James or occasionally other names, and is also given as a name in its own right. It adds that since the mid-20th century it has been used for girls, particularly in the United States.
Nicknames and variants
Jamie is the nickname, so the variety comes from spelling. Behind the Name lists Jaime, Jaimie, Jamey, Jami, Jayme and Jayma as English variants, and gives Jamesina as a Scottish feminine form of James. Jami and Jayme give a girl a spelling of her own.
