Jaime
Jaime is a common Spanish and Portuguese male given name for Jacob, James, Jamie, or Jacques. In Occitania Jacobus became Jacome and later Jacme. In east Spain, Jacme became Jaime, in Aragon it became Chaime, and in Catalonia it became Jaume. In western Spain Jacobus became Iago.
In the United States, Jaime is used as an independent masculine given name, along with given name James.
For females, it remains less popular, not appearing on the top 1,000 U.S. female names for the past 5 years.
