Kishi
k(i)-shi
Origin:Japanese
Other Origin(s):Hebrew
Meaning:Beach, seashore; Snaring of God
Kishi is a feminine name of Japanese origin that embodies the yielding power of the Tao. Meaning "beach" or "seashore," Kishi is a name that speaks to the natural ebb and flow of life. Soft as the waters may be, the ocean is capable of great action and nourishment though free from any rigid objectives or intentions. At its core, Kishi embraces Taoism's greatest symbol, encouraging baby to seek solace in gentleness and let go of resistance, trusting that they'll find their place in the world. If life leads them to a divine calling, then Kishi’s connections to Kushaiah, meaning “snaring of God” in Hebrew, will most certainly appeal to them.
