The Jamieson name comes from James or Jacob. Jamieson-Scottish and northern Irish: patronymic from James. English: from a personal name that has the same origin as Jacob. However, among English speakers, it is now felt to be a separate name in its own right.
This is largely because in the Authorized Version of the Bible (1611) the form James is used in the New Testament as the name of two of Christ’s apostles (James the brother of John and James the brother of Andrew), whereas in the Old Testament the brother of Esau is called Jacob.
