Jameson

Jameson is a Scottish patronymic surname meaning "son of James," and James itself comes from the Hebrew Yaakov, "supplanter." The Dublin whiskey bottle behind most bars has lent the name a rich amber association, though American parents began adopting it as a first name in the 2010s when surname-style choices reached peak popularity. It entered the U.S. top 200 in 2013 and hasn't looked back. Three neat syllables that accept Jamie, Jem, or James as nicknames, giving it more flexibility than most. Jameson reads as grown-up from the start, with a faintly Celtic lilt and a steady, poured-glass warmth.
