Kimmie is English in Origin.

Kimmie is an affectionate English diminutive of Kim and Kimberly, names that trace to the English surname and place-name Kimberley. Kimberley derives from Old English elements: the personal name Cyneburg (cyne “royal” + burh “fortress”) and leah “woodland clearing,” yielding the sense “Cyneburg’s clearing,” often interpreted as “royal meadow.” As a given name it rose with the 19th‑century prominence of Lord Kimberley and, later, the South African city Kimberley, finding major popularity for girls in the mid‑20th‑century United States and Britain.

While often informal, Kimmie has seen occasional use as a standalone first name. Close variants include Kimmy, Kimi, Kimmi, and Kimmey; related forms are Kim, Kimber, Kimberly, Kimberley, and Kimberlee. In Scandinavia, Kimmie can be unisex, and Finnish Kimi (commonly male) is etymologically distinct, tied to Joakim. The nickname is also unrelated to the Korean surname Kim.
