Ham; or a variant of James meaning supplanter
In Spanish, Jamon is the literal word for ham, which makes it an extremely rare choice as a given name in Spanish-speaking cultures. In an English context, it is often used as a creative modern variant of James or Jamison, carrying the traditional meaning of 'supplanter'. It gained some very minor visibility in the United States during the late 20th century.
