[ 1 syll. mim, mi-m ] The baby girl name Mim is pronounced as MihM â . Mim is used predominantly in English. It is derived from English and Hebrew origins. Mim is a familiar form (English) of the name Miriam (English, French, German, Yiddish, and Hebrew). Meemee, Mims, and Mimsie are variations of Mim. The origin and meaning of Mim is inherited by all variant forms. Mim is uncommon as a baby girl name.
Strictly speaking the masculine is Leslie, the feminine Lesley. However, I would take Kaz's advice. With names these days, it appears that the masc/fem doesn't fit any more. It's more a unisex decision, or one size fits all. Just met a new mother who spells her baby's name Shienne.
