Meaning: female given name (name)

How do you pronounce it?

The romanization is Rūshī.

While ルーシー is written in katakana for foreign names, a Japanese person might choose kanji like 瑠璃 for 'lapis lazuli' to create a native version of the name.
The name ルーシー is often associated with Western 'vintage' charm in Japan, evoking images of 1950s Americana due to the influence of old cinema.
Because Japanese has no 'L', someone named Lucy may find that Japanese speakers accidentally pronounce it like the word 流し meaning 'sink' or 'stream' if the vowel length is missed.
