Lemmie

US Popularity:16882
Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:Devoted to God
Lemmie is a boy’s name of Hebrew origin, meaning “devoted to God.” Quirky Lemmie is a definite contender for parents looking to honor their faith without opting for more commonly used biblical names. The name is a cute variant of the formal boy’s name, Lemuel, who appeared as a king in the Christian Bible. Belonging to God just as it belongs to literature, Lemuel appeared as the good-natured protagonist in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. It’s believed Swift purposely chose the name because of its etymology, representing a wandering man exiled from the promised land!
