Meiju is Finnish, Japanese in Origin.
Meiju is a feminine given name with cross-cultural roots. In Finland, Meiju (pronounced MAY-yoo) surfaced in the late 20th century as a modern, melodic coinage alongside Maiju; it likely blends the affectionate diminutive ending -ju with the springlike sound of May, and gained visibility through performers such as singer Meiju Suvas. In Finnish it carries no fixed lexical meaning, but it often evokes freshness and renewal. Related forms include Maiju and Meija; spellings like Mei-ju appear in transliteration.
In Chinese, Meiju is the pinyin Měijú, whose sense depends on the characters chosen - commonly 美菊 “beautiful chrysanthemum,” 梅菊 “plum-and-chrysanthemum,” or 美炬 “beautiful torch.” As a feminine name it has been used from the early to mid‑20th century onward, drawing on classical floral symbolism for resilience and grace. Variants in writing include Mei Ju, Mei-ju, or the tone-marked Měijú; other romanizations may differ by dialect.
