What each kanji means
Long-lasting, eternal. A compact three-stroke wish for longevity, seen in classics like Hisako (久子) and Kumi (久美).
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.
