Kaori
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaori is a Japanese given name for females. See Japanese name. Its meaning depends on how it is written. Native English speakers have a hard time pronouncing this name properly since it has a short "o" after a short "a". It is correctly pronounced like "kah-oh-ree". It is commonly written as:
- 香/薫 — "perfume / fragrance"
- 香織 — "perfumed fabric" or "woven fragrance"
- 佳織 — "quality fabric"
- かおり — no specific meaning indicated, can be any of the above
- かをり/かほり — same as above but written in a more classical form, pronounced the same way but sometimes romanized as kawori and kahori respectively.
A somewhat similar name, in terms of both pronunciation and meaning, is Kaoru. Unlike Kaori, it can be used for both sexes.
