Masumi is a captivating feminine given name of Japanese origin, meaning 'pure' or 'clear'. It is composed of two kanji characters: 'ma' (真), which signifies truth or reality, and 'sumi' (澄), translating to pure or clear. This name is often associated with serenity and clarity, reflecting its linguistic roots. Masumi has been used in Japan for centuries but gained international recognition due to its simplicity and elegance. It is particularly popular among families who value tradition and culture while also embracing modernity.
Masumi was quite popular among parents in the 20th century, with babies named Masumi born every decade. However, it seems to have been more favored earlier on, as all three registered births happened before 1985.
