Miyu

Meaning of Miyu

Miyu is a charming Japanese name, pronounced mee-YOO. It blends the kanji for beauty (美) and kindness (優) into a sweet melody. Depending on the characters, it can also mean “beautiful dream,” “gentle reason,” or “deep wanderer.” She tiptoes into a room like a Kathak dancer’s first spin. Picture cherry blossoms drifting on a spring breeze or diyas glowing during Diwali—that’s the warmth Miyu brings. In the US, she still sits around the 940th spot, but she’s been climbing steadily since the mid-’90s. Parents pick Miyu to spark stories of elegance, compassion, and bright new beginnings.
