Niemi Family History
Niemi Name Meaning
Finnish: from niemi ‘peninsula’, ‘headland’, originally a
habitational name from a farm so named for its situation. In the late
19th century it was a popular ornamental adoption, so much so that
people then began to change it for a less common name. It occurs
chiefly in western Finland. In America, it is also found as an
abbreviation of other surnames containing this element, such as
Rajaniemi, Sotaniemi, and Syrj(a:)niemi.
