Happy or blessed
In Somali culture, Nimo is a feminine name derived from the word 'ne'ma' or 'ni'mah,' which translates to a blessing or a state of happiness and prosperity. It is often used to express gratitude for a child's birth. While rare in the United States, it carries a significant cultural weight in East Africa and among the Somali diaspora.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Nimo in 2025.
