Jima

The name Jima is of Japanese origin. While 'Jima' itself is not a common standalone given name in Japan, it appears as a component in many place names and surnames, often meaning 'island' (島). However, when considered as a given name, it is sometimes associated with the kanji for 'silver' (銀) or other characters that can be read as 'ji' and 'ma'. The meaning 'silver' is one interpretation when specific kanji are chosen for the name. It is a relatively rare name as a first name.
