My-My is Vietnamese in Origin.

My-My is a modern reduplicative pet-name turned given name used across languages. In English-speaking contexts it functions as a playful doubling of My, itself a short form for names such as Myra, Myla, or Mylene. In Scandinavia, My is an independent feminine name (Swedish pronunciation mee), sometimes traced to a nature word for “gnat” but adopted for its light, minimalist sound. In Vietnamese, Mỹ (rendered My without diacritics) means “beautiful” and, when doubled, expresses affection; similarly, Chinese-style reduplication (cf. Mei-Mei) influences the spelling and feel of My-My.

The name remains rare in formal registers, more common as a nickname or stage/style choice since the late 20th century. Variants include MyMy, My My, Mymy, and the related forms Mai-Mai, Mei-Mei, and Mimi; the base name My also appears alone. Meanings range from “beloved/adorable” by reduplication to “beautiful” or, in Scandinavian usage, a tiny or delicate creature.
