Raimy as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Raimy

What is the meaning of the name Raimy ?

The baby name Raimy is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced RAY-mee.

Raimy is English, Quechua in Origin.

Raimy is best understood as a modern English spelling of Raimi/Raymi, with the clearest lexical base in Quechua raymi, a noun for a festival, celebration, or ritual. The spelling substitutes English -y for final -i, a common graphic adjustment in recent American names such as Amy or Remy. Because the root word is monomorphemic in Quechua, its literal sense is not built from smaller name elements; the usable meaning is simply celebration.

Historically the root is visible in Andean ceremonial terms such as Inti Raymi, the Inca festival of the sun. As a personal name, Raimy belongs to modern English-language respellings rather than to an old hereditary name tradition. U.S. Social Security data supplied for the name show sparse female use in 2017 and 2019, below top-rank status; the television character Raimy Sullivan in Frequency gave the spelling contemporary visibility. Related spellings include Raymi, Raimi, Raymie, Raimey, and Raimee.
