Kimora is English in Origin.
Kimora is a modern American given name, especially favored in African-American naming traditions. Its formation likely blends Kim (a short form of Kimberly or Korean surname Kim) with the melodic suffix -ora, while also echoing Japanese names; some interpret it as a creative spin on the surname Kimura. Because it is a contemporary coinage, no single traditional meaning is fixed. If traced to Kimura, the elements ki "tree/wood" and mura "village" suggest a nature-rooted sense such as "from the tree village."
In the United States the name entered popularity charts in the late 1990s and climbed in the 2000s, propelled by model and entrepreneur Kimora Lee Simmons and her cultural visibility. Variant spellings include Kymora, Kimmora, Kimorah, and Kymorah. Common nicknames are Kim, Kiki, and Mora. Related Japanese forms sometimes cited are Kimiko and Kimura.
