“Jimi” Hendrix was born Johnny Allen Hendrix and later rechristened James Marshall Hendrix. James is extra generally shortened to ‘Jim’ or ‘Jimmy’. Hendrix selected the irregular spelling of his identify after a advice by his supervisor, Chas Chandler.

As @Stiv factors out these names are
all first names of well-known American musicians. Patti Smith. Jimi Hendrix. Cyndi Lauper and Tori Amos.
Now, if we take a look at
their final names.. they appear to be all associated to Greek deities. Smith – Hephaestus. Hendrix (which means ruler of dwelling) – Hestia. Lauper (which means operating) – Atalanta. And lastly Amos (which means love) – Eros.
