What each kanji means
Leaf, foliage. Yo, Ha readings appear in names like Kanoha (香乃葉) and Futaba (双葉) — fresh green life, and the many 'leaves' of words (言葉).
Diligent effort — doryoku (努力), the virtue Japan prizes above talent. Tsutomu (努) names the worker; steady effort beats genius that idles.
The 莉 of jasmine (茉莉) — borrowed for its delicate floral scent and soft 'ri' sound. A defining character of contemporary girls' names: Riko (莉子), Rin (莉音), Himari (陽茉莉).
