久美子

久美子

"久美子" (Kumiko) is a Japanese feminine given name meaning "eternal beauty child" or similar, depending on the kanji interpretation.

Here, 久美子 is used as a proper noun referring to an individual's name, followed by さん, which is a polite honorific.

久美子さんは教師です。

Ms. Kumiko is a teacher.

In this sentence, 久美子 acts again as a proper noun referring to an individual, without a polite title like さん following it, making the usage slightly casual.

久美子は学校へ行きました。

Kumiko went to school.

Here, 久美子 is positioned as a quoted proper noun within the construction 久美子という女性 which means 'a woman called Kumiko,' introducing the name within descriptive context.

昨日、久美子という女性に会いました。

Yesterday, I met a woman named Kumiko.
