ArchivesRe: Meaning of the Name "Yeimi"
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
Sir,
The pronunciation in Spanish of "Yeimi" is three syllables, so your explanation is a bit off. My apologies, Yeimi is a South/Central American variant of the Spanish name "Jaime" not a respelling of the English name Jamie. Depending upon where you are in Spain or the Spanish speaking world, James can be "Jaime" in Eastern Spain (derived from the Hebrew "Chaim"), "Diego" in Western Spain (derived from "Iago" the Galician form of Jacob/James) and both in Central and South America with "Yeimi" or "Yeime" as alternative spellings.
Similar to how the English name Jeffrey can be spelled Geoffrey, Jeffrey or Jeffery.
I actually know someone with this name.
