Lumi Origin and Meaning

The name Lumi is a boy's name meaning "river".

As a popular Finnish girl name, Lumi has the wintery meaning of "snow", however, from its Albanian origins, it is a unisex name, inspired by the name of the northern Albanian Luma tribe. Luma or lumë mean "river" in Albanian, adding another nature connection to this sparky choice.

While the name remains rare outside of Finland, Lumi has received more attention in the US in recent years —almost exclusively for girls, though it been given to at least 26 boys since 2018.
