Where Does the Jaime Surname Come From?

Jaime is how some branches of the Jaimes family came to write their name. At root, the name means “Son of Jaime”.

How the spelling arose

Jaime drops the “s” of Jaimes, a simplification that clerks often made. You may also find the name written Jáimez and Jaume.

312 people born in France between 1891 and 2000 carried the Jaime name at birth. 13,532 Americans were listed as Jaime in the 2010 census. Of these, 92% identified as Hispanic or Latino.
