Jimmy is a male given name. It is predominately used as a diminutive form of the given name James, along with its short form, Jim.

Both can also be used as the adaptation into English of the modern Greek name Dimitris (Δημήτρης) or the older Dimitrios (Δημήτριος), especially amongst Greek immigrants in English-speaking countries, due the similarity in the sound of the short name Ντίμης/Dimi and Jimmy.^{[citation needed]}
