Light, sweet, and multicultural, Nemi is a simple name with a complex etymology. It notably appears as the title character of a 90s comic strip, drawn by Lisa Myhre, who likely took the name from an Italian lake. The lake in question, Lake Nemi, likely takes its name 
from the Latin nemus "holy wood", and was the site of a Roman temple to the goddess Diana.
