Quimey is a name of Mapuche origin meaning "small" or "little," and in Argentina it is often used as an affectionate nickname that evokes tenderness and closeness. Although originally a diminutive, today it has become a proper name full of personality, very common in the south of the country. It doesn't have a history of kings or emperors, but it does have a lot of heart and cultural roots. It's the kind of name that makes you feel that someone cares about you deeply from the very first moment.
The personality of a Quimey is pure contained energy and contagious joy. They are spontaneous, direct people with that Argentine cheekiness that knows how to make everyone laugh at a party. They don't like drama or beating around the bush; if they want something, they ask for it, and if not, they say so with a smile. They are the ideal companions for an impromptu adventure or a Sunday barbecue.
