Pammi is a diminutive given name with multiple origins. In South Asia, especially among Punjabi and Hindi speakers, it functions as a pet form that sometimes becomes an official name. It most often shortens Sikh and North Indian names such as Parminder (from Sanskrit param “supreme” + Indra “lord of gods”) or Paramjit (“supreme victory”), and can also contract Padmini (from padma “lotus”). Through Indian English, it additionally overlaps with Pammy/Pammie, the familiar of English Pamela, a literary coinage often glossed as “all sweetness” or linked to “honey.”

Used predominantly for girls, Pammi appears in late‑20th‑century Indian records and popular media, then spread with the diaspora. Spellings and variants include Pammy, Pammie, Pami, and Pam; longer roots include Pamela, Padmini, Parminder, and Paramjit. As a standalone, Pammi conveys affectionate, intimate tone rather than an independent etymology.
