Meaning & History
This name is used as 山吹, referring to the plant known as Kerria japonica (or just Kerria since it is the sole species in the genus Kerria), which belongs to the rose family. It combines 山 (san, sen, yama) meaning "mountain" and 吹 (sui, fu.ku, fuki) meaning "blow, puff, emit."This name is very rarely given to girls, if given at all.
