Meaning & origin
Clemie is a vintage diminutive that saw its peak in 1880, the first year of Social Security data, reflecting the era's fondness for -ie and -y endings. In that year, it was recorded with a rank of null, indicating it did not enter the top 1000, but it enjoyed modest usage in the 1880s. The name has since become very rare, with no significant resurgence. It is a feminine form, typically used as a nickname for Clementine or Clement. Clemie's trajectory has been stable over the decades, with no notable increase in recent years. Its simplicity and softened sound align with other diminutives of the period.
Clemie is a diminutive form of Clement or Clementine, derived from the Latin name Clemens, meaning 'merciful' or 'gentle'. It was most popular in the late 19th century, particularly in the 1880s.
