What is the meaning of the name Kimmy ?

The baby name Kimmy is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KIM-ee (IPA: /ˈkɪmi/).

Kimmy is English in Origin.

Kimmy is an affectionate diminutive of Kimberly (and Kim), an English given name ultimately from the Old English place-name Kimberley: Cyneburh (“royal woman/fortress”) + lēah (“wood, clearing, meadow”). It therefore conveys the meaning “from the royal meadow” or “royal clearing.” As a nickname, Kimmy also attaches to Kim, which appears as a unisex short form in English and elsewhere.

Use of Kimmy expanded in the English-speaking world alongside the surge of Kimberly in the mid‑20th century, and it has occasionally been registered as an independent given name since the late 20th century. Variant spellings include Kimmie, Kimmey, and Kimi; related forms are Kim, Kimber, Kimberly/Kimberley, and Kimberlee/Kimberleigh. In Scandinavia and Europe, Kim can shorten Joakim/Joachim, so Kimmy sometimes surfaces there as a playful, mostly feminine, pet form.
