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.
The clear ring of jade ornaments — beauty you can hear. Rei (玲) and Reiko (玲子) evoke crystalline refinement; a subtle, cultured choice.
A beautiful black jewel — a rare, poetic character. Its jewel meaning and unusualness make names like Kurumi (玖瑠実) feel like hidden treasure.
Brilliant, radiant — light scattering like jewels (燦々と輝く). San (燦) is a rare, dazzling choice: sunshine written down.
A classical Buddhist transliteration character — the 陀 of Amida Buddha (阿弥陀) and Buddha (仏陀) himself. Rare in modern names, it lends sutra-deep classical gravity.
