The baby name Armi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AR-mee (English approximation),/ˈɑrmi/ (Finnish IPA).

Armi is Finnish in Origin.

Armi is a Finnish feminine given name, pronounced AHR-mee. In Finnish it is generally understood as a derivative of armas, an old adjective meaning “dear, beloved,” giving Armi the sense of “beloved one.” The name entered wider use in the early 20th century and peaked in the 1950s, boosted by famous bearers such as Armi Kuusela, the first Miss Universe (1952), and Armi Ratia, co‑founder of the design house Marimekko. It remains familiar in Finland and occasionally in neighboring Baltic and Nordic countries.

Internationally, Armi also functions as a short form or pet name for several names: Germanic Armin/Armina (from the element ermen/irmin, “whole, universal”), Armenian Armine/Armineh, and Italian Armida. Related or variant forms include Armas (Finnish masculine), Armin, Armina, Armine, and Armida; Ami sometimes appears as a nickname. Overall, Armi offers a compact, vintage-modern choice with affectionate meaning.
