feminine · Swedish origin
Mimmi is a Scandinavian pet form of names beginning with the sound "Mi-," most commonly Vilhelmina or Maria, and has been used as an independent given name chiefly in Sweden and Finland. Vilhelmina itself is the feminine form of Wilhelm, a Germanic name composed of the elements wil (will, desire) and helm (helmet, protection). Mimmi gained broader cultural visibility through its cheerful, affectionate sound and has long been a familiar name in Nordic nurseries and literature. Related forms include Mimmi's source names Vilhelmina and Mimi, as well as the masculine Wilhelm and its Scandinavian equivalent Vilhelm.
