Nim is an unusual and distinctive given name of Slavic origin, meaning "of noble birth" or "protected by God." It is typically used as a girl's name but can also be given to boys in some cultures. The name Nim has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and its association with the character Nim from the popular children's book series "Nim's Island" by Wendy Orr.
The name Nim experienced a notable resurgence in popularity between 1920 and 1925, with five births recorded each year during this period. However, the name's usage was quite limited overall, as evidenced by its rare occurrence prior to 1920 (only six births in 1885) and after 1925 (no data provided). In total, there were 28 babies named Nim across all the given years.
