弥生
やよい
YAYOI

Yayoi (Japanese: 弥生, “new life”) is traditional name for the month of March in the Japanese calendar. The meaning is “grow more and more” corresponding to the grow of plants in spring. Since cherry blossoms and peach blossoms bloom in March, YAYOI is the one of most popular girls’ name.”

「弥（いや）」は、ますます・いよいよ、「生（おい）」は、草木が芽吹くことを意味する漢字です。三月になると少しずつ春が近づき始め、冬の間は縮こまっていたたくさんの花や木草が一斉に成長する月なので「木草（きくさ）弥（いや）生（お）ひ茂る月」が「弥生（やよい）」と詰まって呼ばれるようになったと言われています。弥生に咲く花は桜や桃などたくさんある事から女の子の名前によく使われます。
