Irma

US Popularity Rank: 4583

Origin: German

Meaning: Universal; complete; entire

Irma is a feminine name of German origin meaning “universal,” “complete,” or “entire.” This name is derived from the Old High German word irmin meaning “world”—a befitting sentiment for baby who is about to become the centre of your world. Irma was typically used as a nickname for German names such as Irmine, Irmgard, and Irmentraud, however, its steady popularity throughout the 20th century helped establish Irma as a unique standalone moniker. Although Irma has declined in recent years, choosing this German classic will be sure to make baby stand out among their peers.
