Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Supplanter; Holder of the heel

Stemming all the way from the Hebrew Yaʿakov, Jamesia has ventured through Greek, Latin, and English to become a modern American title. Most likely inspired by James from Jacob, Jamesia is a feminine name that adopts the meanings “supplanter” and “holder of the heel.” Biblical at its core, Jacob is the name of Esau’s twin brother, who is said to have been born grasping Esau’s heel. Jamesia embodies excitement and eagerness for life, ideal for the little one primed to make their grand arrival.
