What each kanji means
Originally meaning 'to rank next' or 'Asia', in names it works as an elegant phonetic character for the 'a' sound. Common in feminine names like Ami (亜美) and Arisa (亜里沙), it gives a soft, international feel.
Lovely, graceful — 綺麗 (beautiful) contains it. Rei (麗) and Reina (麗奈) project polished, dazzling elegance; the character depicts a deer's paired antlers, symmetry as beauty.
A beautiful black jewel — a rare, poetic character. Its jewel meaning and unusualness make names like Kurumi (玖瑠実) feel like hidden treasure.
Clear, transparent — water or sky with nothing to hide. Sumire (澄玲) and Kiyosumi evoke purity of heart and clarity of mind.
