History & Origin
Climmie is a diminutive, most likely of Clement, from the Latin clemens, 'mild, merciful.' Handed out as a stand-alone first name in the early-twentieth-century South, it belongs to the era's fondness for cozy -ie forms, though its exact parent name is a little uncertain.
It was always rare, given to only about sixteen boys a year at its peak around 1940, and faded thereafter. A boy named Climmie then would be a great-grandfather today.
