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.
Long-lasting, eternal. A compact three-stroke wish for longevity, seen in classics like Hisako (久子) and Kumi (久美).
World, generation, era. In names like Kazuyo (和世) and Seiya (世弥) it connects the child to the wider world and the flow of generations.
Lapis lazuli's 瑠 (瑠璃) — jewel-blue depth. Ruri (瑠璃) and Ruka (瑠花) sparkle with it; the character exists almost solely for beautiful things.
