What is the meaning of the name Carmi ?

The baby name Carmi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɑrmi/ (CAR-mee); Hebrew: [karˈmi] (kar-MEE).

Carmi is Hebrew in Origin.

Carmi is a Hebrew given name and surname from Karmi (כרמי), built on the root kerem (כרם, “vineyard”) with the first-person suffix -i, giving the sense “my vineyard”; by extension it can suggest “vinedresser” or “vineyard owner.” Common transliterations and variants include Karmi, while Carmy appears as an English nickname. It is related by root - though not equivalent - to Carmel.

In the Hebrew Bible the name occurs multiple times: Carmi is listed among the sons of Reuben (Genesis 46:9; Exodus 6:14; 1 Chronicles 5:3) and also appears in Judah’s line as the father of Achan (Joshua 7:1). These attestations anchored its use in Jewish communities, where Carmi has been chiefly masculine; in modern Israel it persists both as a given name and a widespread surname. Beyond Hebrew-speaking settings it remains uncommon but appealing for its concise sound and nature-linked meaning.
