Jemi is English in Origin.

Jemi is a modern, largely unisex diminutive in English and global usage. It arises as a short form of Jeremy (from Hebrew Jeremiah, meaning "Yahweh will exalt"), Jemima (Hebrew "dove"), and Jamie/James (from Hebrew Jacob via Latin Iacobus, "supplanter"). As naming fashions shifted to two-syllable, vowel-final forms, Jemi also came into use as an independent given name in recent decades.

Pet name Jem is attested in Britain since the 1700s, lending Jemi understated vintage roots while remaining contemporary. Spelling variants include Jemie, Jemy, Jemmi, and Jemmy; related nicknames are Jem and Jamie. In South Asian and African English-speaking communities, Jemi appears for both girls and boys, sometimes chosen for its gentle, gem-like sound. Depending on the source, the name carries the meanings "dove," "supplanter," or "Yahweh will exalt"; modern bearers may also associate it with "gem" by folk etymology.
