What Rumi means
Beauty and flow; named for the poet.

Where Rumi comes from
Japanese given names are written in kanji, and the characters chosen carry the meaning as much as the sound does. The same pronunciation can be written several different ways, each shading the sense differently, so parents pick characters as deliberately as they pick the name itself.
