MEANING & HISTORY
What does Jimmie mean?
Jimmie is an established spelling of Jimmy, the familiar form of James. James came through Latin and French from the biblical Jacob name family.
Genesis connects Jacob with a heel and supplanting, although the oldest name interpretation is debated. The ending ie marks the diminutive; it does not add a separate Hebrew element or require a longer registered name.
