Definition
A brand of Irish whiskey made in Dublin, or a person with the surname Jameson.
Etymology
The whiskey brand was founded by John Jameson in 1780 in Dublin, Ireland. The surname Jameson itself comes from the given name James (Hebrew origin, meaning 'supplanter') plus the suffix '-son'.
Kelly Says
Jameson Irish Whiskey became so famous that the brand name is now used casually for any Irish whiskey—a process called genericization. It's named after an actual person, but few people today know John Jameson was a Scottish-born distiller.
