You might want to familiarize with japanese names, and the kanji used for them as well
Kanjis such as 美 mean beautiful and are often read as "Mi" and may form names like "Naomi 直美, Miyuki美幸, Kazumi 和美 or Miwa 美和"
Be aware that "Kazumi", for example might become a male name with a different Kanji combination.
Now, If you're talking about family names, like 山口、木屋、西山、中島 and so on It really depends of pronouns such as "kare, kanojo", or some previous information about its personal life
I hope I got your question right
