What Does the Name Eimi Mean?
Eimi is a Japanese feminine given name whose meaning varies by kanji. One possible form, 英美, combines 英 (ei, "excellent" or "fine") with 美 (mi, "beauty"). Another, 永美, combines 永 (ei, "eternal") with the same 美. The name can also be written in hiragana as えいみ, where the characters represent sound rather than meaning. A translation such as "eternal beauty" therefore describes one particular kanji choice, not Eimi as a whole.
Eimi Name History & Origins
Eimi is written in Japanese as えいみ in hiragana, or with kanji such as 英美 or 永美. Japanese given names are commonly formed by choosing kanji whose readings produce the desired sound, so the written form can vary from person to person. In both examples the second element is 美 (mi), a frequent ending in Japanese feminine names, while the first element supplies the reading ei. The romanization Eimi follows the Hepburn convention for the syllables e, i, and mi. It is not a variant of the English name Amy, which has a separate origin.
