Not a lot is known about the name Jamise. It is a gender-neutral moniker and possibly a variation of Jamisen, Jamison, or Jameson. Deriving from James, which stems from Jacob, the anglicized form of the Hebrew name Ya’aqov, it signifies “holder of the heel” or “leg-puller.” The name was at its most popular in the mid-'80s, but that will certainly change once baby achieves worldwide fame. No, this is not a tease—baby is likely to be a comedian one day with the name Jamise. However, if they decide not to share their funny jokes and split-your-side-laughing routines with the world, they know you’ll be there for them regardless.
