Jahmiah is an African-American name derived from Arabic "Jah" meaning God and Hebrew "Miyah" meaning Who is like God?, translating to "Who is like God?" or "There is none like Him". It gained popularity in the U.S. late 20th century due to a trend towards names with African origins and spiritual connotations, influenced by the Black Power Movement. Despite its rarity, Jahmiah has been carried by notable individuals such as American actress Jahmiah Bell. This unique name holds significant meaning rooted in African-American culture and spirituality, reflecting belief in a higher power while honoring one's roots and heritage.
