Clemmy is in Origin.
Clemmy is a modern, affectionate diminutive of the Clement family of names, especially Clementine and Clemency, and to a lesser extent Clement, ultimately from Latin clemens, meaning "merciful, gentle, mild." As a nickname it carries the same sense of kindness; today it reads mostly feminine in English but remains technically unisex.
Clement entered English via Norman French and was buoyed by saints’ cults, notably Pope Clement I. Feminine counterparts Clementina and later Clementine rose between the 17th and 19th centuries, while the virtue name Clemency reflects Puritan taste. Clemmy matches the current British fondness for cozy pet forms used independently. Common spellings and short forms include Clemmie and Clemie; related names include Clement, Clément (French), Clemente (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Klemens/Klement (Central/Eastern Europe), Clementina, Clementine, Clémence/Clemence, and Clemency.
