Fragrant weaving or woven beauty
Kiori is a Japanese name typically formed by combining 'ki' (meaning fragrance or tree) and 'ori' (meaning weave or fabric). It suggests a sense of craftsmanship and sensory beauty, though its specific meaning can vary depending on the kanji characters used. In the United States, it is a rare choice that blends the popular 'Ki' prefix with a melodic, rhythmic ending.
