An uncommon American pick — distinctive and rare.
Jessejames is a boy's baby name of American origin, a compound name that unites Jesse (from Hebrew, meaning 'gift') and James (from Hebrew, meaning 'supplanter') into a single bold declaration. It unmistakably evokes Jesse James, the legendary 19th-century American outlaw who became a folk hero of the frontier era.
Parents choosing Jessejames are making a statement — this is a name that comes loaded with mythology, rebellion, and a distinctly American spirit of independence.
Jessejames was #3323 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #7443, but its charm endures.
