kurumi

Kurumi is a given name, often a female given name, of Japanese origin. It is typically written in Japanese using the kanji characters くるみ or 胡桃. The kanji 胡桃 literally translates to "walnut," referring to the nut. As such, the name Kurumi often evokes imagery associated with the walnut tree or its fruit, such as nature, warmth, or a sense of groundedness. The pronunciation is generally "koo-roo-mee." While primarily a female given name, it is not exclusively so, and variations in meaning or nuance can exist depending on the specific kanji used and the family's intentions. The name has seen some popularity in Japan and is recognized internationally due to its presence in popular culture, particularly in anime and manga. In these contexts, the character Kurumi may or may not directly reflect the literal meaning of "walnut" but often carries connotations of individuality or a unique personality.
