Jaime-1 is the Spanish and Portuguese masculine form of James (from Late Latin Iacomus/Iacobus, from Hebrew Ya'aqov/Jacob). Jaime-2 is an English feminine variant spelling of Jamie (itself a Scots diminutive of James), popularized by the 1970s TV character Jaime Sommers. This project's SSA rank for this profile is boys #657, corresponding to the Jaime-1 lane; this profile keeps both lanes distinct rather than merging their histories.

Real-world considerations
- Spelling note: Jamie.
- Jaime is not one name but two unrelated ones sharing a spelling: a Spanish/Portuguese masculine form of James, and an English feminine variant of Jamie. This project's boys #657 assignment corresponds to the former, but individual US birth records using this spelling cannot be traced to one lane or the other from the sources available here.
