What each kanji means
A classical Buddhist transliteration character — the 陀 of Amida Buddha (阿弥陀) and Buddha (仏陀) himself. Rare in modern names, it lends sutra-deep classical gravity.
A classical phonetic character meaning 'essential; must'. It appears in old transliterations and place names, lending names a formal, established air.
Heaven, sky. In names like Ten (天) and Takara (天) it reaches for the highest — a child under heaven's protection with sky-high potential.
Sound, note. A beautiful modern staple — Oto (音), Kanon (花音), Rion (莉音) — for a child whose presence resonates like music.
