Lemmie is in Origin.
Lemmie is an English pet form of Lemuel, the Hebrew biblical name borne by the figure King Lemuel in Proverbs 31. Lemuel derives from elements meaning “belonging to God” or “devoted to God,” so Lemmie carries that devotional sense while softening it with the colloquial -ie ending. In many records it appears as a familiar for Lemuel (and sometimes for the short form Lem), but it has also been used as an independent given name.
Usage clusters in the United States from the late 19th to mid‑20th centuries, especially in the South, where nickname-style formal names were common; a minority of bearers are female, paralleling Sammie or Willie. Close variants include Lemmy, Lem, and the formal Lemuel; related spellings such as Lemmi or Lemi occur but are uncommon or from different linguistic traditions. Today Lemmie feels vintage and friendly, with biblical roots and a breezy, down‑home charm.
