Name Meaning
Pet form of various girls' names of Germanic origin beginning with the element irm(en), erm(en) ‘whole, entire’, for example Irmgard and Irmtraud. It was introduced to the English-speaking world at the end of the 19th century and gained some currency following the release of the film Irma la Douce ( 1963 ), in which Shirley MacLaine plays the title role.
