Konomini is of course taken from "KONO MINIkuku mo Utsukushi Sekai." Since the latter part of the current abbreviation is a partial pronouciation of "Minikuku," which is "Ugly," "Konomini" itself is not supposed to "mean" anything. It's purpose is just to refer to a title that is otherwise really long. To many, "Pokemon"--short for Pocket Monster-- is just Pokemon, there is no meaning beyond the word referring to a badly butchered and commercialized, yet popular animated series. By the same token, "Konomini" doesn't really "mean" anything.
