The name "James," when shortened, often becomes "Jim", "Jamie", or "Jimmy". This is a common tradition in English-language names where longer formal names are shortened for casual use. They don't necessarily stand for anything; rather, they're born out of linguistic convenience, like many nicknames. For example, "Rob" from "Robert", or "Tom" from "Thomas". So, if someone named James is called "Jim," it's not that "Jim" stands for something -- it's simply a shorter, more informal version of "James".
