Zimri
About Zimri
This unusual and spunky biblical name was one of the Kings of Israel as well as one of Judah's grandsons and has a wonderful meaning. We'd like to see Zimri being used more, and we think it has potential — "traveling lite" names, or 2 syllable names ending in -i, such as Zuri, Ezri, and Rafi are red-hot right now.
Pronounced ZIM-ree.
As of October 2026, Zimri ranked #7676 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4566 in 2022.
