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.
About 10 boys were named Jamon in 2025.
