Meaning & History
Kazumi is a Japanese unisex given name that carries meanings of beauty and harmony, reflecting the kanji characters from which it is commonly formed. Its primary meanings derive from the combination of kazu—meaning "harmony, peace" or kazu's "one"—with mi, meaning "beautiful". Thus, two traditional written forms are 和美 ("peace, beauty") and 一美 ("one, beauty"). Beyond these classic combinations, Kazumi can be written with other kanji or in hiragana (かずみ) and katakana (カズミ).
