Jameson, a surname-turned-given-name, was originally a patronymic name meaning "son of James." It first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for boy names in 1969 before seeing a spike in popularity in the 1980s. Jameson entered the top-100 for the first time in 2017 and has now been a top-150 boy's name every year since 2015. It's the name pop star Pink and her husband Carey Hart gave their son Jameson Moon, born in 2016. They chose the name because they like whiskey, but also in honor of Pink's father, James Moore.
