Kimee is English in Origin.

Kimee is a modern English respelling of Kimmie/Kimmy, the affectionate short form of Kim, itself most often derived from Kimberly/Kimberley. That place-name surname comes from Old English elements in Cyneburga's leah, 'Cyneburga's clearing/meadow,' yielding the broadly understood sense of 'from the royal meadow.' As with Kim, Kimee is generally used for girls in contemporary English, though the root Kim has been unisex. Kimberly rose sharply as a given name in the mid-20th century.

Cross-culturally, the spelling can also echo Japanese Kimie (pronounced kee-mee-eh), in which meanings vary by kanji, often combining characters for 'beauty,' 'joy,' or 'blessing' with 'noble' or 'lord.' Related and variant forms include Kim, Kimmy, Kimmie, Kimi, Kimmi, Kimie, Kimberly/Kimberley, and Kimiko. Usage of Kimee itself is rare and largely 20th-21st century, favored as a playful, phonetic twist on familiar Kim-names while retaining their friendly, approachable vibe.
