Winter is the least common season in Japanese names, which makes winter names feel distinctive. 冬 (fuyu) gives Mifuyu (美冬), Mafuyu (真冬, midwinter) and Fuyumi for girls, and Fuyuki (冬樹) and Tōma (冬馬) for boys.
柊 (holly) is a popular winter kanji in boys' names such as Shū and Shūto. In Japan, holly sprigs are hung at the door at the end of winter to keep demons away.
