History & Origin

Ezmi is a modern short spelling that echoes Esme, a name from Old French esme, the past participle of esmer ('to esteem'), read as 'esteemed' or 'beloved.' Esme came into Scottish use in the sixteenth century and was revived for girls in the twentieth, helped by J. D. Salinger's story For Esme, with Love and Squalor. Ezmi keeps the sound while dropping the older spelling; the route is an echo rather than a documented line, which we note (said 'EZ-mee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, crisp, and modern.
