Supplanter or right hand
Jamen is a rare variant likely derived from the Hebrew name Benjamin, meaning 'son of the right hand,' or James, meaning 'supplanter.' It has emerged as a modern phonetic blend, often chosen for its familiar sound but unique spelling. Its usage in the United States remains very low, making it a distinctive alternative to more common biblical names.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Jamen in 2025.
