History & Origin

Climmie is an affectionate diminutive, most likely of Clementine or Clemmie, from the Latin clemens, gentle or merciful. In the early twentieth-century South such pet names were freely given as full first names. Because the parent could vary, we read Climmie honestly as a nickname-name of that warm, homespun kind.

Climmie was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around the late nineteen-tens, and it faded as formal names returned. A woman named Climmie from that time belongs to a great-grandparent generation now.

Did you know? Climmie carries the gentle sense of the Latin clemens, the same root behind Clement and the word clemency.
