Aimi

Girl name · 58 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aimi: 58 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 8 births in 1989.

Aimi is a name with Japanese origins, typically meaning "beauty" or "love" (from "ai") combined with "beautiful" (from "mi")—a poetic choice for a baby girl. It also appears as an Italian diminutive of Aimone, though this is far less common in Scotland. The name is borne by Aimi Eguchi, a fictional Japanese pop star created by the virtual AKB48 group, which highlights its playful, modern appeal. While no major places directly connect to this name, it shares a root with the more familiar Scottish "Amy" or "Aimee," making it a distinctive, international twist on a classic favourite. For parents seeking a name that feels both delicate and globally aware, Aimi offers a subtle bridge between cultures.
