The name Murasaki is a girl's name of Japanese origin meaning "purple gromwell, purple flower; violet colour; cluster of blooms".

Notably borne by the 11th century noblewoman, novelist, and poet, Murasaki Shikibu, author of the Japanese classic, <em>The Tales of the Genji</em>, Murasaki is an incredibly rare choice as a given name. Literally, it may be interpreted as meaning "cluster of blooms", though it is used to refer to the purple gromwell flower, and to a purple, violet dye made from the plant.
