What each kanji means
Center, heart of things. Popular in modern names like Rio (理央) and Mao (真央) — famously figure skater Mao Asada — placing the child at the calm center of their world.
Elegance, refinement — the courtly aesthetic (雅び) of Heian aristocrats. Masa names (Masako 雅子, the Empress's name; Miyabi 雅) carry a thousand years of polished taste.
Clear, transparent — water or sky with nothing to hide. Sumire (澄玲) and Kiyosumi evoke purity of heart and clarity of mind.
The Big Dipper (北斗七星) — the constellation that points the way north. A hugely popular modern boys' ending: Haruto (陽斗), Yamato (大和斗); it adds starlit direction.
