Jamaican means “from Jamaica,” or a person from Jamaica. Jamaica itself is the island country in the Caribbean Sea — Kingston is the capital — an independent state in the British Commonwealth, known for music and the Rastafari religion, and for a long, hard history of people brought from Africa to work on sugar and banana farms. So you can say a Jamaican singer, Jamaican food, Jamaican English. Use Jamaican for the people and the culture; use Jamaica for the place.
