Kammie is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from German roots. It is believed to have originated as a diminutive form of the German male name Kamil, which itself stems from the Arabic word 'qāmil', meaning 'standing' or 'upright'. However, despite its Germanic origins, Kammie is predominantly used as a feminine name in the United States and other English-speaking countries. The name has gained popularity in recent years due to its modern sound and its ability to be shortened to appealing nicknames such as Kam or Kammy. It is often associated with individuals who are independent, creative, and open-minded.
The name Kammie had a peak popularity between 1958 and 1968 with the highest number of births recorded in 1968 (24). After that period, there was a steady decline until the late 1970s to early 1980s. From 1991 onwards, the name started gaining popularity again, reaching a new peak in 2002 with 22 births recorded. Since then, it has maintained relatively consistent popularity with around 10-20 births per year until recent years where it has declined slightly. Overall, from 1958 to 2023, there have been a total of 891 births named Kammie.
