What each kanji means
Blessing, grace, generosity. A perennial in Japanese names for generations — Megumi (恵) and Keiko (恵子) — expressing the wish for a kind child who both receives and gives blessings.
Diligent effort — doryoku (努力), the virtue Japan prizes above talent. Tsutomu (努) names the worker; steady effort beats genius that idles.
The 'u' of uchū (宇宙) — the universe. A favorite for parents who want cosmic scale in a name, suggesting a mind as wide as the sky.
Sound, note. A beautiful modern staple — Oto (音), Kanon (花音), Rion (莉音) — for a child whose presence resonates like music.
