About the name Jigme

Jigme means without fear, and in Buddhist terms that is less about bravado than about a mind no longer rattled by gain, loss or death. Four Bhutanese kings have carried it, which has made it the most recognisable Himalayan boys' name outside the region.

Jigme is a boy name of Tibetan origin, pronounced JIG-may. On the NameRarity scale it scores 92 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the steadily rising.
