Etymology[]

The name Chiemi is written in kanji/hiragana (ちえ美), which has no special meaning except the kanji "美" means "beautiful". However, when part of the name Chie (ちえ) is written in kanji (千枝, 千恵 or 千絵), it could possibly mean:
- 千枝 - "thousand" (千) (chi) and "branch" (枝) (e).
- 千恵 - "thousand" (千) (chi) and "favor, benefit" (恵) (e).
- 千絵 - "thousand" (千) (chi) and "picture, painting" (絵) (e).
Chiemi's surname Tanaka means "field, rice paddy" (田) (ta) and "middle" (中) (naka), which literally means "dweller in the rice fields" altogether.
