Jemaica

Jemaica is a feminine name and variation of Jamaica that can strengthen baby’s sense of home. Jamaica stems from Xaymaca in Taíno, a now-extinct dialect of the Arawakan language family. This place name is said to mean “land of wood and water” or “rich in springs,” referring to its lush and fertile landscape. Jamaica is also a place in New York, from a Native American Algonquian word meaning “beaver pond.” Despite having two separate roots, Jemaica is brimming with wood and water symbolism with a splash of ingenuity from the mighty beaver.
