A masculine given name, commonly used in Spanish and English-speaking cultures.
From the Spanish form of James, derived from the Hebrew name Yaakov (Jacob), meaning 'supplanter.' The name evolved through Latin (Jacobus) and Old French (James) before becoming Jaime in Spanish.
The name Jaime is a perfect example of how the same person can have wildly different names across cultures—James in English, Santiago in Spanish (literally 'St. James'), and Jaime as another Spanish variant, all tracing back to the same Hebrew root meaning 'supplanter' or 'one who follows.'
