Hamisy is Swahili in Origin.
Hamisy is an East African given name with Swahili and Arabic roots. It derives from Arabic al-khamis, "Thursday," the word that also underlies Swahili Alhamisi, the weekday name. In Swahili naming customs, children may be named for the day of birth, so Hamisy carries the sense "born on Thursday" or simply "Thursday."
The name has long been used along the Swahili coast, in Zanzibar, coastal Tanzania and Kenya, reflecting centuries of contact with the Arab world and Islamic calendrical vocabulary. It remains common in Muslim communities across East Africa and the Comoros, and appears in diaspora records from the late 19th century onward. Spelling variants include Hamisi, Hamis, Khamis and Khamisi; related feminine forms include Hamisa and Khamisa. Nicknames such as Hami and Misi occur. The weekday association conveys steadiness and good fortune tied to the fifth day.
Hamisy is extremely rare. There are only 5 recorded uses on record, spread over 1 country.
