If you use a different kanji for "mi", it could also be light and fruit.

This is a very lovely name. I've spent hours searching for good sounding Japanese names and Akemi probably is one of the best that I have found. A great aspect of this name is that even though it's Japanese it doesn't really step out of the normal by sounding really foreign in America. This is a name that would seem to be more acceptable than Michiko or Katsuhito in a classroom full of first graders. Although that really all depends. Also, Akemi could be a good substitute for Kimberly. They sound alike but mean totally different things. I would for sure consider naming my daughter Akemi. =)

This is a pretty name and it sounds so daring. Like a Japanese Martial art expert. (A girl of course)

Akemi is a really beautiful name. I have a close friend named this and she is often called 'Kemi' for short, which is also nice.

Akemi Cynthia Paule Uchima (Minami Saori is her Screen name amd her real name is Akemi Uchima and her Filipino name is Cynthia) became a famous singer in Japan when she made a hit song "Seventeen Year Old". For years, she has denied the fact that she was born in Okinawa due to Japanese discrimination against Okinawans.
