Klimki is the plural of Klimek, which is the diminutive form of the first name Klemens or (in the eastern borderlands) Kliment. It would be the equivalent of English Clem, the diminutive of Clement.

Those localities might be translated into English as Clems, Clemville or Clemton.

The Polish surname KLIMKA derives from the first name Klemens, coming from the Latin clemens (meaning quiet, peaceful, cool ...)
