A rare variant of Emma meaning whole, universal, or all-encompassing.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ima je zriedkavý germánsky variant mena Emma. Jeho základ sa spája so starohornonemeckým prvkom ermen, irmin vo význame „celý, všeobsiahly“; príbuzným menom je Irma. Formálna zhoda s výrazom ima „mama“ v modernej hebrejčine nepredstavuje doložený hebrejský pôvod tohto mena.
