History & Origin
Kimmi rode the huge mid-century wave of Kimberly. It appears in United States records from the late nineteen-fifties and touched its quiet high near nineteen-sixty-six.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, though it lingered faintly into the twenty-twenties. A girl named Kimmi at that peak would be around sixty today. The name reads as a pet form rather than a formal one.
