You may have a little jokester on your hands with baby Jamieson. Hailing back to the Middle English and Scottish surname Jamison, this name is typically given to boys and means “son of James.” James is an English variation of the biblical Latin name Iacobus, which derived from the Hebrew moniker Ya’aqov, now known as Jacob. It signifies “supplanter,” “holder of the heel,” or “leg-puller.” With a name like Jamieson, baby will probably love to tease and trick those around them. But you can rest easy knowing when they say they love you, they’re not pulling your leg.
