History & Origin

Natsumi is a Japanese girls' name usually written with the characters for natsu, 'summer,' and mi, 'beauty,' giving the common reading 'summer beauty.' As with all Japanese names the sense rests on the characters chosen rather than the sound, and other pairings give other meanings, which we state plainly rather than fixing one. Season names are a well-loved part of Japanese naming, alongside Haruka for spring and Akina for autumn. We give it in romanised form (said 'nat-SOO-mee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, seasonal, and Japanese.

Did you know? Natsu is summer in Japanese - the season of festivals, cicadas and fireworks - and the mi that follows it most often means beauty.
