All around the world, 유미 (Yumi , 유미 , Asou ) is a common mostly girly, but infrequently boy's given name. The forename 유미 is habitual in Eastern Asia, particularly Macao, where it is quite a common girly name, Hong Kong, and Japan, where it is quite a rare predominantly female, but very seldom male name. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in Japan, Indonesia, and South Korea. Very seldom, 유미 is the last name as well as the forename.
