      Masumi is a first name that traces its origins back to Japan, where it holds significant cultural value. Derived from the Japanese language, Masumi is a combination of two kanji characters: ma meaning real or true and sumi meaning beauty or purity. This harmonious blend encapsulates the essence of the name, as it signifies the embodiment of both inner and outer beauty, often associated with genuine purity.
