Kimari is of African origin, specifically from Swahili-speaking regions. It's composed of two elements: 'ki' meaning 'of' and 'mari', which signifies 'peace'. Thus, Kimari translates to 'of peace'. This name was traditionally given to children born during times of harmony or as a wish for future tranquility.
"Kimari experienced a surge in popularity between 1997 and 2008, with the highest number of births occurring in 2008 at 46. However, it has since declined, with only 8 births recorded in 2023."
