Limmie is an uncommon given name of English origin, derived from the name Limmy, which was used in Scotland as a pet form of William. It is composed of the elements 'Lim', which might be related to the Norman French word 'lime', meaning 'limb' or 'lame', and '-y', a common English diminutive suffix. The name has seen limited use throughout history, making it quite distinctive today.
