Kimmey is English in Origin.
Kimmey (pronounced KIM-ee) is an English diminutive spelling of Kimmy/Kimmie, the pet form of the given name Kimberly/Kimberley. It sometimes appears as an independent first name and occurs as a rare surname in Scottish records, but in modern use it mainly serves as a nickname-style choice.
The meaning traces back to Kimberly, an English place-name derived from Old English Cyneburg + leah: "Cyneburg’s meadow/clearing," with Cyneburg itself meaning "royal fortress." Diminutives ending in -y/-ie became fashionable in the 19th-20th centuries, and Kimmey rode the mid-century rise of Kimberly in the US and UK, peaking in the 1960s-80s before remaining uncommon. Close variants and related forms include Kimmie, Kimmy, Kimi, Kimmi, and Kim; longer roots are Kimberly, Kimberley, Kimberlee, and Kimberleigh, with Kimball as a looser masculine cognate. Note that while Kim is also Scandinavian (from Joakim) and a Korean surname meaning "gold," Kimmey in English is not derived from Korean.
