Meaning and history

Masami is a Japanese given name used for more than one gender. Its meaning depends on the kanji chosen: common elements may include masa, written with characters conveying “correct,” “elegant,” or “prosperous,” and mi, which can mean “beauty” or use other readings. Many combinations are possible, so romanization alone cannot establish a translation. Notable bearers include Japanese actor Masami Nagasawa and Japanese manga artist Masami Kurumada; their original characters determine the precise meanings.
