Jamaican Baby Names
Jamaican culture reflects the Indigenous cultures there since before 2000 BCE and all the other colonization attempts that could never dampen the full spirit of this island people. From the lively art, music, and dance to the language, medicine, and cuisine, the cultures that weave into the Jamaican tapestry make this heritage a truly unique one to behold. If baby’s roots extend all the way to the Caribbean and you want to pay a little homage, then a Jamaican baby girl, boy, or gender-neutral name will make your heart beat in time with the island.

What is the wildlife like in Jamaica?
Having a tropical setting with an island full of mountains and valleys surrounded by crystal clear waters, the wildlife should have a hard time stealing the show when it comes to Jamaica’s beauty. But should is the keyword there! From gorgeous stingrays, colorful reef-loving fish, and majestic jellyfish in the sea to brilliant giant swallowtails, clever Jamaican iguanas, and plenty of snakes, Jamaica’s wildlife is unparalleled.
How many islands are there in Jamaica?
Jamaica is one of the few nations around the world composed of one very large island and several others around it that complete the nation. Where the Phillippines and Japan might have several thousand islands with hundreds of large, inhabited ones to boast about—think around 7,000 total islands for each, actually—Jamaica still qualifies as an island nation. It has about 49 as its claim to fame, taking up approximately 4,240 square miles in total. Within that square mileage lives 2.8 million people! That’s about the population of the entirety of Kansas but in only a tiny fraction of the space considering Kansas’ whopping 82,278 square miles.
Jamaican Fun Facts!
Jamaica resides in the Caribbean and currently holds the title of the third-largest island in the Caribbean. There are several major mountain ranges on this large main island, giving a wide variety of views amidst the rugged topography. The most famous of these are the Blue Mountains, May Day Mountains, Dry Harbour Mountains, and John Crow Mountains, but besides these ranges, there are actually 345 specific mountains that are named, too!
