Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Kimi je fínska podoba mena Kim, skráteného z Joakim. Základom je hebrejské meno Jehojakim s významom „Jahve pozdvihuje, upevňuje“. Hebrejský pôvod označuje etymologický koreň; samotná podoba Kimi vznikla vo fínskom prostredí.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Pôvod: Fínska knižničná poradňa s odkazom na Penttiho Lempiäinena, Suuri etunimikirja. Význam základového mena: švédsky jazykovedný ústav Isof, Joakim. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidla pre mužské mená zakončené na -i, vzor kuli: Kultúra slova, 1973/1, JÚĽŠ SAV. Štyri až sedem zaužívaných slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo doložiť, preto je pole prázdne. Medzinárodné podoby zachovávajú meno Kimi; nejde o preklady základového mena Joakim.
