Meaning & History

Kimi was already popular for girls in the Edo era and remained in common use until the early 1900s, most commonly spelled in hiragana as きみ.

It is also used as 君 (kimi) meaning "lord, noble" or 公 (kimi) meaning "prince". It can be given as a combination of 貴 (ki) meaning "valuable", 希 (ki) meaning "hope" or 季 (ki) meaning "seasons" with 美 (mi) meaning "beautiful". Other kanji combinations are possible.
