Pammie
Meaning of Pammie
The name Pammie emerges as an affectionate diminutive of Pamela, a literary coinage with Greek roots—pan, meaning “all,” and meli, “honey”—which entered the Anglo-American onomastic repertoire during the Elizabethan era. Demographically, its adoption in the United States between 1960 and 1973 reflects a pattern of infrequent but steady registration, with annual occurrences ranging from six to twelve newborns and national rankings oscillating between 737th and 783rd place. The phonological structure of the name—beginning with the bilabial plosive /p/ and concluding with the open front vowel /i/—conveys a concise yet amiable sound profile that aligns with mid–twentieth-century naming sensibilities, evoking both familiarity and an understated individuality. While its usage has waned in recent decades, Pammie endures as a testament to the enduring appeal of diminutive forms within Anglo-American naming traditions.
