Supplanter; modern blend of James and Damion
Jamion is a modern American invention, likely created by blending the classic Hebrew name James with the Greek-derived Damion. As a variant of James, it carries the traditional meaning of 'supplanter' or 'one who follows.' It emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought unique rhythmic alternatives to established favorites.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Jamion in 2025.
