Kazumi is Japanese in Origin.

Kazumi is a Japanese unisex given name pronounced kah-zoo-mee. Its meaning depends on the kanji: common forms include 和美 (“harmonious beauty”), 一美 (“one, unique beauty”), 数美 (“numerous, abundant beauty”), 和実 (“peaceful truth/fruitfulness”), and the masculine-leaning 和巳, where 巳 is the zodiac ‘mi’ sign. Written in kana, it appears as かずみ or カズミ. Because the elements kazu (和/一/数) and mi (美/実/巳) are productive in name formation, Kazumi conveys shades of peace, unity, number, beauty, and fruition.

Used since the early 20th century, the name rose for girls mid-century with -mi (美) endings, while postwar boys sometimes bore 和巳 or 和実. It remains familiar without being overly common in Japan and diasporic communities. Variants and related names include Kazue, Kazuyo, and Kazuha; nicknames are Kazu, Kaz, or Mi-chan. Not to be confused with Kasumi (霞/香澄), a separate name meaning “mist” or “fragrant clarity.”
