Kagami as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kagami

What is the meaning of the name Kagami ?

The baby name Kagami is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced KAH-gah-mee (Japanese: [kaɡami]).

Kagami is Japanese in Origin.

Kagami is a Japanese unisex given name and surname from the noun kagami, “mirror,” commonly written 鏡. In Shinto the mirror (Yata no Kagami) signifies purity, wisdom, and truthful reflection, so the name conveys clarity, sincerity, and self-knowledge. Pop culture has broadened its visibility, though it remains a distinctive choice.

As a given name it is rarer than the surname and is often styled in hiragana (かがみ) or simply as 鏡. Parents may also create nanori that keep the ka-ga-mi reading - using characters like 加 or 香 for ka, 賀 or 雅 for ga, and 美 for mi - to shift nuance toward “addition,” “fragrance,” “elegance,” or “beauty.” Related surname forms include 加賀美, while unusual ateji such as 火神 appear in fiction. There are no established non-Japanese variants, and meaning always depends on the chosen kanji.
