Lemmy

Meaning of Lemmy

The name Lemmy dances onto the baby registry like a mischievous firefly—pronounced lem-ee (/ˈlɛmi/)—and instantly lights up any nursery, whether for a daughter or a son. Born as a playful offshoot of classic Clement or the Hebrew Lemuel (“devoted to God”), Lemmy carries a wink of history and a wink of rock ’n’ roll thanks to Motörhead’s unforgettable frontman, Lemmy Kilmister. Though only a dozen or so bright sparks of Lemmy appear each year—hovering around the 900th spot on U.S. charts—it’s precisely this cozy rarity that makes it feel like a secret handshake among trendsetters. Warm, bold and impossibly fun, Lemmy weaves tradition and swagger into a single, unisex cheer for the next generation.
