Nagi

Origin and meaning of Nagi

Nagi is a Japanese unisex name meaning 'calm, lull,' from the word 凪, which describes the moment when sea and wind fall completely still. It evokes quiet, peace and deep serenity, an image much cherished in Japanese sensibility. It is a modern, short and refined name, rising among newborns in Japan. Outside the country, though, it stays little known and tied to Japanese culture.
