Meaning & History
This name is, essentially a variant of Miyū, shifted to be pronounced as a 2-mora name (Miyū, on the other hand, has 3 morae).One bearer of this name is model and actress Mew Azama (or Myū Azama) (安座間 美優) (1986-). In her case, she was named from the song "Yoake no MEW" (夜明けのMEW) by Kyoko Koizumi (小泉 今日子), released in the same year she was born, which may have contributed to the name's usage.This name is rarely given to children.
