Mimmi

Mimmi is a Scandinavian pet form of Maria or occasionally Wilhelmina, ultimately tracing back to the Hebrew Miriam, whose root meaning is debated but often interpreted as beloved, wished-for child, or sea of bitterness. The name has been in familiar use across Sweden and Finland as an affectionate diminutive, carrying the warm, informal register typical of Nordic hypocoristic forms. Related names include Mimi, Mimma, and the fuller forms Maria and Wilhelmina.
