Kasumi (霞) is the Japanese word for "mist" or "haze" — specifically the soft mist of spring mornings, central to Japanese aesthetic tradition. Featured in countless classical poems as the veil that obscures Mount Fuji or the cherry blossoms.
Used widely in modern Japan.
Kasumi does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Kasumi reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
