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.
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.
Field, plain — wide open and free. In names like Nozomi and surnames everywhere (Nakano, Ono), it grounds a name in open land and natural freedom.
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.
