Background Story
Yui is a Japanese name formed from 結 (yu) meaning "tie, bind" or 優 (yu) meaning "excellence, superiority, gentleness", combined with 衣 (i) meaning "clothing, garment". It can also come from the stand-alone 結 (yui) using a different nanori reading, and other kanji or kanji combinations can form the name as well. English and French both borrowed it from Japanese ゆい (Yui).
