Name Origin

Bailey-James is a modern, unisex given name formed by combining two popular names: Bailey and James. Bailey has English origins and traditionally refers to a 'bailiff,' an official responsible for managing property or collecting taxes. It has evolved to be more widely used as a surname, but its popularity as a first name, particularly for girls, soared in the late 20th century. James, of Hebrew origin, means 'supplanter' and is one of the most enduringly popular male names globally. Combining Bailey and James creates a unique, contemporary name with both strength and gentleness associated with its individual components.
