Meaning & Origin
A female given name.
Kimora is a girl's baby name of Japanese origin, possibly from the Japanese ki (tree, energy) and mori (forest, grove), meaning "tree of the forest" or "energy of the grove." It is also considered a creative American coinage blending Kim with Tamara.
Fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons — former creative director of Baby Phat and one of the most prominent Black women in the fashion industry — has made this name synonymous with bold style, entrepreneurial success, and unapologetic confidence in American pop culture.
