DefinitionJah mek yah is a creative, slang pronunciation of the word Jamaica, playing on the sounds of the country's name. It breaks down as Jah (a Rastafarian term for God) and mek yah (meaning made here). So, in a playful way, the phrase sounds like Jamaica but also carries the deeper meaning of God made here. This clever wordplay ties Jamaica’s name to both its cultural and spiritual roots.
