Meanings evoke the warmth and vitality of summer carried across an era or community, and it can also honor a summer birth.

The -yo ending, often written 代 or 世, was fashionable for girls in the Taishō and early Shōwa periods and remains a classic, if uncommon, choice today; seasonal “Natsu-” names saw renewed interest from the late 20th century.
