Jamiah

Meaning of Jamiah

Jamiah (pronounced juh-MY-uh /dʒəˈmaɪə/) combines melodic allure with cultural depth, tracing back to the Arabic root j-m-ʿ-a meaning “to gather” and resonating in Persian legend through King Jamshid, whose fabled cup was said to reveal the cosmos. The feminine suffix “-iah” imparts a graceful flourish, yielding a name that suggests unity and refined poise—ideal for families drawn to universal themes without the need for an astronomer’s toolkit. In the United States, Jamiah first appeared on the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 list in 1982 at rank 799 with only six recorded births; it has since hovered between the 800s and 900s, most recently placing 919th in 2024 with 31 newborns, a modest yet steady presence that underscores its understated charm.
