Kimmy

Meaning of Kimmy

Kimmy is a cheerful diminutive of Kimberly (and occasionally Kim), rooted in Old English words for “wood fortress” or the Irish Cimbel, meaning “chief.” Warm and approachable, Kimmy flutters into a room like a sunbeam—bright, playful, and always ready for a little mischief (think sneaking an extra cookie off the counter). Though its popularity has gently settled in the later hundreds of U.S. birth charts—coming in at rank 951 in 2023—Kimmy’s spirited charm endures, from beloved sitcom sidekicks to the unstoppable heroine of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Easy to pronounce (KIM-ee), this name blends timeless familiarity with an energetic twist, perfect for a little girl destined to lead with a wink, a grin, and her own special sparkle.
