Jamie

Jamie is considered to be a shorter version or a nickname for the name James. In turn, the name James takes its meaning from the name Jacob. Jacob is a variant of the Hebrew name Yaakov, whose meaning in Hebrew is 'akev', meaning 'the heel'. This is because in The Holy Bible, Jacob was said to have been born while holding his twin brother, Esau’s heel. When they grew older, Jacob took over and usurped Esau, by taking both his birthright and the blessings that their father gave him. Therefore, the meaning of Jamie can also be linked with this and can be considered to mean ‘the one who supplants' or 'the one who displaces’. Jamie is among the Top 50 most popular names in Ireland, England and Scotland. The dashing Irish actor Jamie Dornan, talented American actor Jamie Foxx and British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver are some of the best known Jamies from around the world.

Lucky

Jamie lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
