What is the meaning of the name Kumiyo ?

The baby name Kumiyo is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ku-mi-yo (IPA: /ku.mi.jo/, anglicized: KOO-mee-yoh).

Kumiyo is Japanese in Origin.

Kumiyo is a Japanese feminine given name whose meaning depends on the kanji. Popular spellings include 久美代 (everlasting beauty + generation) and 久美世 (everlasting beauty + world/era). Parents may also write Kumi with 実 (fruit; truth) as 久実代, or choose purely phonetic kana (くみよ or クミヨ). Because Japanese names are flexible, other combinations exist, but the overall sense often evokes enduring beauty carried across an age.

Names ending in -yo were fashionable in the Taisho and Showa eras and into postwar decades, then declined in favor of -mi, -na, and -ka endings; Kumiyo now feels classic and somewhat rare. Diminutive Kumi is common, and Kumiko (久美子) serves as a closely related variant with the child-character ko. Romanization usually follows Hepburn as Kumiyo, occasionally hyphenated as Kumi-yo for clarity.
