Origin and meaning of Yui
Yui is a sweet Japanese girls' name, often written 結衣 with 結 (yu, 'to tie, to bind') and 衣 (i, 'garment'), or 唯 ('only, unique'). At heart it evokes a gentle, precious bond, like a thread that draws people together. It is much loved in Japan today, frequently near the top of girls' name rankings. Abroad it is rare and tied to Japanese culture.
