Jaime is a common Spanish and Portuguese masculine given name for Jacob, James or Jamie. In eastern Spain, Jacobus became Jacome. or Jaime; in Catalonia, it became Jaume. In western Spain it became Iago, in Portugal and Galicia it became Tiago. The name Saint James developed in Spanish to Santiago, in Portuguese to São Tiago. The name Diego is also an Iberian version of Jaime.

In English-speaking North America, Jaime is now mostly a feminine given name, used as an alternative spelling of Jamie. The common use of Jaime in that role can be traced to the 1970s America television series The Bionic Woman, whose main character was called Jaime Sommers.[citation needed]

It should not be confused with J'aime meaning I like in French.
