Miyuki is a Japanese given name that means "beautiful snow." It is predominantly used for females, although it can also be used for males. The name consists of two kanji characters: 美 (mi), meaning "beauty," and 雪 (yuki), meaning "snow." Thus, Miyuki signifies the concept of beautiful snowfall or winter beauty. This name is particularly appealing during the snowy months in Japan, such as January and February, but it can be used year-round for its aesthetic significance.
The name Miyuki appears to have seen fluctuations in popularity over the years, with periods of higher and lower usage. The most notable spikes occurred in recent years, with a high of 13 births in both 2014 and 2022. However, there are also several years where only a handful of babies were named Miyuki or none at all. Overall, the name has been used consistently but not exceptionally frequently, with a total of 342 births recorded since 1919.
