What is the meaning of the name Mimmo ?

The baby name Mimmo is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈmim.mo/; respelling: MEE-moh.

Mimmo is Italian in Origin.

Mimmo (pronounced MEEM-mo) is an Italian hypocorism, most commonly for Domenico and, in some regions, for Cosimo. Through Domenico, it goes back to Latin Dominicus, "of the Lord; belonging to the Lord," a name traditionally given to boys born on Sunday and linked to Saint Dominic. When standing for Cosimo, it echoes Greek kosmos, "order; universe," though that connection is secondary.

Long rooted in southern Italy, Mimmo began appearing on birth records as an independent given name in the 20th century while remaining a warm, everyday nickname. Notable bearers include the artist Mimmo Rotella, painter-sculptor Mimmo Paladino, and photographer Mimmo Jodice. Variant forms and pet names include Mimo and Mimi; feminine counterparts are Mimma and Mimmina (from Domenica or Cosima). Related formal names include Domenico, Cosimo, and the international Dominic and Cosmo. Overall meaning leans toward "belonging to the Lord," with regional nuance.
