Yu-mi is Chinese, Korean in Origin.
Yu-mi is a Korean feminine given name, written in hangul as 유미 and often constructed from Sino-Korean morphemes represented by hanja. The earliest recoverable form for the modern name is the Korean spelling 유미; no single ancestral character spelling applies to every bearer, since families choose different hanja for the same sounds. A common analysis uses 裕 yu, abundant or ample, and 美 mi, beauty, yielding the phrase abundant beauty; 有美, possessing beauty, is another plausible spelling.
Yu-mi fits the two-syllable pattern dominant in South Korean given names, especially after the mid-twentieth century, when hangul registration and selected hanja commonly coexisted. It appears among Koreans and in diaspora communities, with romanizations including Yumi, Yu Mi, and You-mi. Because Japanese Yumi has separate etymologies, usually from different kanji, it is best treated as a homophonous name rather than a true variant.
