What does Mimi mean?
2 syllables

Mimi is a French pet form of names like Michelle or Marie, used affectionately much the way "Mickey" or "Molly" might be used in English. As a standalone name it has traveled well beyond France and is now used on its own worldwide.

Mimi is light, bouncy, and easy to coo at — an instantly affectionate-sounding name. It suits a small, spirited companion with a big personality packed into a compact frame.
