Yes, Chaimae is an Arabic girlsname often used in the Morrocan subpopulation in the Netherlands. It is pronounced SHIE-ma. (when using the Dutch way of pronouncing letters: sjaimaa). In Arabic it is written like شيما, and Shayma, Chaima and Chaimae all are ways to write this name. I live in the Netherlands myself and I mostly encounter this way of writing the name. My dictionary confimrs the meaning that thegriffin suggests: شيما (SHIE-ma) is the feminine form of اشيم (ishyam) and means 'having a black mole'.(Steingass Arabic-English dictionary)
