JAIME SALAZAR

This is the Spanish form of James, but in the United States and Canada, and subsequently elsewhere in the English-speaking world, it came to be used also as a girl's name, apparently a variant of the girl's name Jamie. In Britain it is now more commonly used for girls than boys, while in North America it is still predominantly a boy's name.

Spanish: habitational name from a place called Salazar in Burgos, probably named with sala ‘hall’ + Basque za(h)ar ‘old’, and thus a Basque equivalent of Saavedra.
