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.
Ten thousand — the myriad. Mao (万央) and Kazuma (和万) use it as a multiplier of fortune; it opens the celebratory cheer 'banzai' (万歳, ten thousand years).
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.
