Neemie Origin and Meaning

The name Neemie is a girl's name.

Neemie is a feminine name that likely originated as a diminutive form of Nehemiah, a Hebrew name meaning "comforted by God" or "God consoles." While Nehemiah is traditionally masculine and appears in the Bible as a Jewish leader who rebuilt Jerusalem's walls, Neemie represents a softer, feminine adaptation. This name is quite uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality. The name has a gentle, sweet sound with its two syllables and soft ending. Neemie might appeal to parents seeking a name with biblical connections but wanting something less common than traditional biblical names. Its rarity makes it unlikely to be shared with classmates, while its simple pronunciation makes it accessible despite its uniqueness.
