Meaning and history
Jayma is a modern English feminine name of uncertain formation. It may be an elaboration of Jay, a sound-based variant of Jamey or Jaime, or a recently coined blend; it does not have a securely established ancient-language meaning. Claims assigning it a fixed Sanskrit, Hebrew, or Native American translation should therefore be treated cautiously unless tied to a specific family tradition. American actor and singer Jayma Mays is the best-known bearer, and her public career has made the uncommon spelling recognizable.
