Otome is a beautiful and unique Japanese given name for females. It is derived from the word "otona", which means "adult" or "grown-up". However, unlike many names that are directly translated into their literal meanings, Otome has evolved to hold its own distinct meaning: "maiden" or "virgin". This name is often associated with innocence, purity, and youthfulness. It gained popularity in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868) as a given name for young girls due to its charming connotation. Today, Otome continues to be a beloved choice among Japanese parents seeking a traditional yet captivating name for their daughters.
"In the year 1921, there were five individuals named Otome born."
