What is the meaning of the name Simi ?

The baby name Simi is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SIH-mee.

Simi is Hebrew, Hindi, Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Simi is usually a hypocoristic rather than a single inherited name. In Jewish and Christian usage it shortens Simone or Simon, whose earliest Semitic form is Hebrew Šimʿon, built on the verb šāmaʿ, to hear, with a sentence-name sense often interpreted as he has heard. As an Indian nickname, Simi shortens Simran, from Sanskrit smaraṇa, recollection or remembrance, a noun formed from the root smṛ, to remember.

The name appears chiefly as an informal or short given name in South Asian, Jewish, and European contexts, with Simona and Simone supplying Romance and Slavic long forms. Sikh usage of Simran gives it devotional associations with remembrance of the divine. Public bearers include Indian actor and interviewer Simi Garewal, Nigerian singer Simi, and writer Simi Bedford. In the United States it remains outside the Top 1000, recorded only in small numbers in recent SSA data.
