A second meaning of Hitomi is in its sounds like hitori. Which means one person. Many western people don't know Japanese has several groups of words for counting different items. Regular numbers are ichi, ni, San, shi/yon,go, etc. People are; hitori, hutari, san,yo, go-nin kimashita. So first-born would be named this often for basic reasons.
Hitomi is also used as a masculine name in Japanese. However, its more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisex_name
