What each kanji means
Peace, safety — a roof sheltering. An (安) and Yasuko (安子) rest on the oldest of wishes: the 安 of Heian (平安), the era of peace, and of 安心, peace of mind.
Diligent effort — doryoku (努力), the virtue Japan prizes above talent. Tsutomu (努) names the worker; steady effort beats genius that idles.
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.
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.
