Gimpi is in Origin.

Gimpi is an ultra-rare modern given name of uncertain etymology. Proposed sources include a playful diminutive of Jim/James (from Hebrew Ya'aqov, "supplanter"); a nickname-style offshoot of Spanish Ximena/Jimena, via medieval Ximeno (often linked to Simon, "he has heard"); or a creative respelling of Sanskrit Gopi, "cowherd; devotee of Krishna." The form also echoes the Australian place name Gympie, itself from Kabi Kabi gimpi-gimpi, a native stinging tree, lending a nature/place flavor.

Usage is contemporary and extremely uncommon, appearing more in usernames than civil records and used across genders. Variants and near-forms include Gimi, Gimmy, Gimpie, and Gympi; related names are Jim/Jimmy, James, Ximena/Jimena, and Gopi. Depending on the lineage preferred, associated meanings range from "supplanter" to "he has heard" to "cowherd/devotee." Note potential English-language associations with the GIMP software acronym and slang.
