The concensus with this name is that it means friend of water. The breakdown of the kanji is as follows:
"mizu no ami" = "friend of water"
MIZU = water
NO may mean field, or plain; in this case, it is used as a noun
modifier
There are several meanings for ami:
="following beauty" (A=ranking next, Mi=Beautiful)
="Beautiful Asian" (A=Asia)
In this context, ami=friend (French)
Mizuno Ami is one of the, if not the most, intelligent of the Senshi. As a student, Ami is at the top of her class at her school (Juuban Junior High School and Juuban High School in the Sailor Moon Stars Season) and also achieves the top marks (most of the time) in the country examination rankings. This seems to be most likely due to the fact that she is reading almost all of the time and goes to cram school every day through the five seasons. Although Ami is intelligent, she is somewhat of a social butterfly in that she is not totally comfortable interacting with other people and would rather be with her books. Nonetheless, Ami is still very good friends with the rest of the Senshi.
As Sailor Mercury, Ami is often called in to analyse the situation using her miniature super computer. In combat, Ami is always thinking on her feet and remains reasonably calm in the face of danger. Ami's attacks are mostly defensive based--this leads some critics to critisise Ami as being the weakest Senshi.
Unlike some of the other Senshi, Ami is not really concerned about the opposite sex although there are a few exceptions. Ami lives with her mother, who is a doctor, in a mansion in Minato-ku (a district of Japan). In her future, Ami would like to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a doctor as well.
