Meaning depends on the kanji; 清美 combines pure or clean with beauty.
This example applies to the documented Japanese spelling 清美. Kiyomi is also written with other characters, so the Latin spelling alone does not select this meaning. The components describe a written-name interpretation, not a judgement about a person’s appearance or character.

The hiragana entry きよみ points to the given-name spellings 紀代美 and 聖美. The latter also has Satomi and Toshimi readings. A romanized spelling alone cannot establish which written name a family intends; no universal pure-beauty translation is assigned.
