What is the meaning of the name Kahimi ?

The baby name Kahimi is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ka-hee-mee (Japanese: [ka.hi.mi]).

Kahimi is Japanese in Origin.

Kahimi most plausibly reflects the Hawaiian name Kaʻimi, from ka (“the”) + ʻimi (“to seek”), meaning “the seeker” or “searcher.” In Hawaiian orthography the glottal stop (ʻokina) appears in Kaʻimi; outside Hawaiʻi it is often omitted (Kaimi) or, less commonly, replaced by h, yielding Kahimi. The name is unisex and evokes curiosity and exploration.

Use as a given name is modern, seen in 20th–21st‑century Hawaiʻi and the diaspora alongside the Hawaiian language revival. Variants: Kaʻimi, Ka'imi, Kaimi; related form: ʻImi/Imi; possible nickname: Kimi. Pronunciation: Hawaiian ka-EE-mee; Anglicized Kahimi often ka-HEE-mee. A separate pop‑culture echo exists in the Japanese stage name Kahimi (e.g., Kahimi Karie), but in Japanese it is unconventional and any meaning would depend on selected kanji rather than a fixed etymology.
