Variant of Jemima, a biblical name meaning dove, one of Job's daughters.
Jamima is a variant of Jemima, the biblical name meaning dove and known as one of Job's daughters. That origin gives it a quietly classic and scriptural feel, with the dove symbol adding layers of peace and tenderness.
The alternate spelling preserves the old-world character while making the name look a little less familiar and more distinctive. As a given name, Jamima has a soft, antique charm. It sounds delicate but not flimsy, and its biblical background lends it seriousness beneath the sweetness.
Names like this often carry a sense of innocence and grace, balanced by their historical depth. Jamima is rare enough to feel special, yet rooted enough to feel meaningful.
