History & Origin
Taimi is a Finnish girl's name from the word for a sapling or young plant, expressing new life and fresh growth. It reflects the Finnish tradition of drawing names from nature. In the United States it appeared chiefly among Finnish immigrant families in the early twentieth century, especially in the upper Midwest, and it has always been rare outside that community.
Taimi was always rare in American records, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around nineteen-twenty, largely within Finnish immigrant families. A girl named Taimi then would be past a hundred today.
