Meaning & origin

Fumie is a Japanese feminine name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1915. Its peak year was 1920, but it has not been in the top 1000 for any given year. The name's trajectory has remained stable at very low usage ever since. There are no top states associated with the name, reflecting its rarity in the United States.

Fumie is a Japanese feminine name with several possible interpretations depending on the kanji used. It can mean 'elegant picture' (from 文, 'writing/art', and 絵, 'picture') or 'blessing' (from 福, 'good fortune', and 恵, 'blessing'). Historically, the name has been used in Japan since at least the early 20th century, with a peak in popularity in the 1920s. Its usage has declined significantly in recent decades.
