Jimi is in Origin.

Jimi is a modern phonetic variant of Jimmy, the familiar short form of James. James descends via Late Latin Iacomus (a vernacular form of Iacobus) and Greek Iakobos from the Hebrew name Ya‘aqov (Jacob), commonly interpreted as “supplanter” or “one who follows at the heel.” In English-speaking countries, Jim and Jimmy have been used since medieval times; the Jimi spelling surged in the 1960s, indelibly associated with rock icon Jimi Hendrix.

Variants and related forms include Jimmy, Jimmie, Jim, and Jamie; cognates of James across languages include Séamus (Irish), Hamish (Scottish), Jacques (French), Jaime/Santiago (Spanish), Giacomo (Italian), and Tiago/Iago (Portuguese). In Finland, Jimi functions as an independent given name, while in Korean contexts Jimi (Ji‑mi) is a separate feminine name whose meaning depends on the chosen hanja. Overall, Jimi offers a streamlined, modern twist on a classic with deep biblical roots.
