Miki

/ˈmiː.ki/ noun

Definition

A Japanese given name, sometimes used as a nickname, that can refer to different characters depending on kanji used.

Etymology

From Japanese mi (美, 実, etc.) and ki (希, 樹, etc.), where different kanji characters create different meanings. It's a modern Japanese name with no single fixed etymology.

Kelly Says

In Japanese names, the same sounds can mean completely different things depending on which kanji characters you use—'Miki' could mean 'beautiful tree' or 'rare hope' depending on the writing!
