Globally, Yelmis (Yelmis 
) is a rare principally female, but scarcely masculine first name. The given name Yelmis is habitual in Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly Cuba, where it is quite a rare female name, Nicaragua, where it is a rare dominantly girly, but seldom masculine name, and Colombia, where it is a very rare epicene name. Much less frequently, Yelmis is the last name as well as the forename.
