Harumi is a Japanese given name used for all genders, though common for girls. It can be written with many kanji, such as 春美 (“spring beauty”), 晴美 (“clear/bright beauty”), 春海 (“spring sea”), 晴海 (“sunny sea”), and 陽海 (“sunlit sea”). The -mi (美) element signals a traditionally feminine tilt, while forms with 海 (“sea”) read as more unisex. It may also be written entirely in hiragana (はるみ) or katakana (ハルミ).

Its use rose in the Shōwa era (1926–1989) with the mid‑century fashion for -mi names, and it remains familiar through figures such as enka singer Harumi Miyako and chef-author Harumi Kurihara. Outside Japan it appears in diaspora communities and pop culture, almost always romanized as Harumi. Variants comprise alternate kanji pairings and the short form Haru; related Haru‑ names include Haruka and Haruna. Across spellings, the core imagery evokes spring, clear skies, and the sea - freshness, brightness, and beauty.
