Kyomi

More traditionally transliterated as Kiyomi, this Japanese name shares the appeal of names like Naomi, Kenzo, and Emi, but also of Kaia, Kyra, and Kyaire, giving it cross-cultural possibilities. It debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2025 when it was given to 551 girls: nearly double the number the year prior

As with many Japanese names, it has multiple meanings depending on which characters are used, but possibilities include: "pure and beautiful", "record (of the) era's beauty", or "sacred, holy and beautiful". Pronounced as KEE-YO-MEE in Japanese, it may also be heard as kie-O-mee among English speakers.

Also the name of a type of citrus fruit and a village in Japan, the Kiyomi spelling also entered the US Top 1000 in 2025. Parents may have been inspired by the Death Note character, by TikTok star Kiyomi Vining, and by writer and content creator Kiyomi Leslie.

Pronounced kee-OH-mee.
