Jahmi is of Arabic origin, derived from the word 'jaheem', which means 'flaming fire'. It is often used as a unisex name but is more commonly given to males. Jahmi is also found in some African cultures, particularly among the Swahili-speaking people, where it may have different origins and meanings. In both cases, the name Jahmi carries an element of strength and power, reflecting its fiery roots.
