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.
Auspicious omen — the 瑞 of 瑞々しい (fresh, dewy) and Mizuho (瑞穂), the poetic 'land of vigorous rice ears' that names Japan itself. Fortune announced by freshness.
Sprout, bud — new life pushing through soil. Mei (芽依) and Megumi (芽衣美) celebrate beginnings and the unstoppable force of growth.
