Meaning & History
Means "claw" in Japanese.One fictional bearer of this name is Tsume (ツメ) from the manga and anime franchise 'Wolf's Rain'.There has been evidence that it was (uncommonly) used as a feminine name as far back as the mid 19th century, but it's far unlikely that they were given the name because of the meaning since most of them would have their names written in kana. Nowadays, it's very rarely given to girls, if given at all, and it is not given to boys as of yet.
