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.
Sound, note. A beautiful modern staple — Oto (音), Kanon (花音), Rion (莉音) — for a child whose presence resonates like music.
Clear, transparent — water or sky with nothing to hide. Sumire (澄玲) and Kiyosumi evoke purity of heart and clarity of mind.
The Big Dipper (北斗七星) — the constellation that points the way north. A hugely popular modern boys' ending: Haruto (陽斗), Yamato (大和斗); it adds starlit direction.
