Miyuki

Miyuki is a Japanese given name widely used for girls. The meaning of Miyuki varies with the kanji characters chosen to write it. Common spellings include 美雪 (beautiful snow) and 美幸 (beautiful happiness); other possibilities combine different elements such as truth, fortune, or winter imagery. Because many kanji can produce the same pronunciation, the name often conveys gentle or poetic associations rather than a fixed meaning.
