Minhjames

Origin

The name 'minhjames' appears to be a modern, possibly invented compound name combining 'minh' and 'james'. 'James' originates from the Hebrew name 'Ya'aqov', meaning 'supplanter', with historical prominence in biblical and royal contexts. 'Minh' is a Vietnamese name meaning 'bright' or 'clever', though in this compound context, it functions as a creative prefix rather than conveying its original meaning directly.
