Rinna

Rio is one of Japan's most popular girls names, constantly sitting in that country's Top 10. Of course, Rio may also stem from the Portuguese and Spanish word for river, and the Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro. A truly international name for a cosmopolitan baby!

Risa

Rumi is a Japanese girls' name that sounds like a couple of other choices more familiar in the West -- Rumer and Remi -- that is achieving notice because of its choice by two celebrities, including Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Rumi is perhaps best-known as the name of a (male)13th century Muslim mystic and poet whose most famous poem, "The Diver's Clothes Lying Empty", has inspired many modern literary works, including Vendela Vida's novel with a nearly-identical title.  There are also several notable Japanese women named Rumi.

Japanese Girl Names

This is a list of Japanese names given to girls. In some circumstances a "meaning" is included, but do realize that many Japanese names could have several meanings, depending on the Chinese characters used (or not used), and not all of the possible character combinations will be listed along with the names. Some characters have multiple pronunciations and meanings also. These are not necessarily the most popular names in Japan, but they have all been given to real people. 

Just like in English speaking cultures, some parents like to get creative with how their names are spelled or, in this case, how the Chinese characters that make up the name are read. Such names are also included.
