Semmi is in Origin.

Semmi is a modern, cross-linguistic diminutive used as a given name for any gender. It most often shortens Dutch/Scandinavian Sem (the local form of biblical Shem, from Hebrew shem “name, fame”) or Turkish Semih (Arabic-derived, “generous, noble”). It also appears as a pet form of the feminine Semira/Samira, from Arabic samira “evening companion, friend.”

Found as a standalone since the late 20th century, Semmi fits the trend for affectionate -i/-y endings. Variants include Semi, Semmy, Semmie, and Semy; related roots are Sem, Shem, and Semih. Usage is broadly unisex - more often male in Dutch/Turkish contexts and female when linked to Samira/Semira. Note that in Hungarian, semmi means “nothing,” which may affect reception. Meanings vary by origin: “name/renown,” “generous/noble,” or “pleasant companion.”
