as a First Name
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.
