Jomei Name Meaning and Origin
Jomei is of Japanese origin, meaning “clear and bright” or “one who spreads light.” It combines two kanji characters: “jo” (浄), which signifies “pure” or “clear,” and “mei” (明), meaning “bright” or “light.” This name is often associated with positive qualities like wisdom, clarity, and insight. Historically, Jomei was also the name of a Japanese emperor (Emperor Jomei, reigned from 629–641), which lends it a sense of historical depth and nobility. Jomei is typically used as a masculine name in Japan, though its beautiful meaning could resonate universally across genders.
