Semis is a boy’s name that hails from the Pacific Islands. This simple title is a form of the popular Western name James, which means “supplanter.” While James certainly made a home for himself in baby name charts around the world, Semis may choose to embrace his own ancestry to its fullest. Owing to this, naming baby Semis could be an ideal way to connect baby to his heritage, wherever in the world he may be. The word semis also means “half,” and refers to a small Roman bronze coin. While this is known to hold value, there’s no doubt that baby Semis will be far more precious.
