Last month, we discussed the most popular baby names in Japan.
MisatoOne of many names on the list which frequently contains the kanji 美, meaning “beautiful,” Misato can mean “beautiful knowledge” (美知) or “beautiful village” (美里).
MizukiAlthough the Japanese word for “moon” is usually pronounced tsuki, its initial consonant blend gets softened in the name Mizuki, which can mean “beautiful moon” (美月) or “water moon” (水月).
MiyuFinally, 美, which we also saw used to write Misato and Mizuki, is frequently part of the nam Miyu, which can mean “beautiful kindness” (美優).
It can also mean “beautiful connection” (美結), which makes it an extremely appropriate name to top this list of the most popular names from a dating app.
