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.
Reason, logic — the ordering principle of things (理科 is science). Ri names — Riko (理子), Rio (理央), Satori — pair beauty with intellect.
Arrow — straight to the target. Yajiro and Shinya (伸矢) carry directness; Hachiman shrines sell arrows (破魔矢) that break misfortune.
