What is the meaning of the name Kotomi ?

The baby name Kotomi is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced koh-toh-mee (IPA: /ko.to.mi/).

Kotomi is Japanese in Origin.

Kotomi is a Japanese feminine given name pronounced KO-toh-mee. It combines the element koto - most often “koto,” the traditional zither, but also “word” or “ancient capital,” depending on the kanji - with mi, frequently “beauty” or “truth.” Meanings therefore vary by writing; common forms include 琴美 “koto + beauty,” 琴実 “koto + truth/fruit,” 古都美 “ancient capital + beauty,” and 言美 “word + beauty.” The name is also seen in hiragana ことみ or katakana コトミ.

Given names ending in -mi became widespread in the Shōwa and early Heisei periods, and Kotomi followed this trend, remaining steadily familiar in modern Japan and among the diaspora. Appearances in pop culture have reinforced its visibility. Variant spellings are primarily kanji choices rather than changes in sound; related names built on koto include Kotone and Kotoha, while Tomomi shares the -mi ending. Informal nicknames include Koto and Tomi. The standard romanization is Kotomi.
