Meaning of Prim
Prim is a succinct feminine name of English usage, pronounced PRIM (/prɪm/). Etymologically it derives from the Latin primus, meaning “first,” and also functions as a diminutive of the botanical name Primrose, lending a subtle floral nuance. It carries literary resonance through the character Primrose Everdeen in Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, where associations of innocence and resilience converge. In the United States, Prim remains rare but demonstrably steady: 25 newborns received the name in 2024, securing a ranking near 925, up from 11 in 2020 and 8 in 2013. Its restrained sound and minimalist quality appeal to parents seeking a distinctive yet accessible choice, and its brevity suggests it never overstays its welcome.
