History & Origin

Yoshiye is a plain-Latin romanization of a Japanese given name from the early 1900s. The yoshi element carries senses of 'good, righteous or beautiful,' and the meaning shifts with the kanji, so any single gloss is approximate. It was borne by American-born daughters of Japanese immigrants in the Issei and Nisei cohorts.

In the United States it was always rare, recorded for only about sixteen girls a year around its high in 1921 and confined to that early immigrant generation. A girl named Yoshiye then belongs to a cohort born over a century ago.

Did you know? Yoshiye appears in US records mainly among Japanese immigrant families of the Issei and Nisei generations, whose daughters were born in the first decades of the twentieth century.
