Zimri Origin and Meaning

The name Zimri is a boy's name of Hebrew, Hebrew/Israeli origin meaning "my music, my praise".

This unusual and spunky biblical name was one of the Kings of Israel as well as one of Judah's grandsons and has a wonderful meaning. We'd like to see Zimri being used more, and we think it has potential — "traveling lite" names, or 2 syllable names ending in -i, such as Zuri, Ezri, and Rafi are red-hot right now.
