Nyima
Meaning of Nyima
Nyima, pronounced NYEE-mah, is a name that literally means “sun” in its Tibetan homeland, and it carries that same glow wherever it goes. Though cherished for centuries across the Himalayas, Nyima has more recently crossed cultures—Swahili speakers, for instance, share that very pronunciation—making it a small-world ray of light. In the U.S., a handful of parents each year are drawn to its bright optimism, ranking it just inside the top thousand girl names with around half a dozen little Nyimas born annually. Choosing Nyima feels a bit like gifting your daughter her own personal sunshine—warmth and hope bundled up in three simple syllables, no umbrella required.
