What each kanji means
Apricot — blossoms like plum, fruit like sunshine. An (杏) — as in actress Anne — and Kyoka (杏花) are fashionably sweet; apricot groves rewarded a legendary healer's kindness.
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.
