Hebrew at the root, yet the meaning leads straight to Rome: the Roman one, from the old city on the Tiber. It settled most firmly in Russian, and in Poland fewer than 300 women carry it, so meeting one stays with you.

What Rimma means
Where Rimma comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Rimma travels a strange road. The short meaning points to Rome: "from Rome, Roman." Yet the roots reach back to Hebrew, and the name settled most firmly in Russian, where women have carried it for generations.
In Russia the name kept a formal weight. It appears on Soviet documents and in old school registers, given to girls born across the twentieth century. There are no diminutives fixed to it here, so Rimma often stands alone, a single clear form on an official page.
The link to Rome is the meaning people remember. Whether the Hebrew origin fed a Roman sense or that sense arrived later, the association held. A girl named Rimma answers to "the Roman one," z Rzymu, from the old city on the Tiber.
