Kumie is Japanese in Origin.

Kumie is a Japanese feminine given name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen. Common renderings include 久美恵 (“enduring beauty, blessing”), 久美江 (“enduring beauty, inlet/bay”), 久美絵 (“enduring beauty, picture/painting”), and 久美枝 (“enduring beauty, branch”); it can also be written phonetically as くみえ or クミエ. The first element kumi typically uses 久美 (“long time; beauty”), while the -e ending draws on characters such as 恵 (grace), 江 (inlet), or 絵 (picture), allowing for nuanced, auspicious interpretations.

The name saw wider use during Japan’s Shōwa era, particularly in the 1950s–70s when feminine names ending in -e (such as - mie or - ie) were fashionable; today it reads as gently vintage yet familiar. Variants and related forms include the short form Kumi (久美) and the elaboration Kumiko (久美子), which share roots but carry distinct suffix meanings. Kumie suits families seeking a classic sound with elegant, traditionally positive imagery.
