What each kanji means
Wave. In names like Namie (波恵) and Konami it brings the ocean's rhythm — persistence that arrives again and again.
Road, path — the journey itself. Michi and Ji readings (Michiko 路子) bless the traveler: may your road be long and your steps sure.
The 琉 of Ryukyu (琉球) — Okinawa's old kingdom — and of lapis-like gemstone glass. Ruka (琉夏) and Ryuto (琉斗) carry southern-island brilliance, a modern favorite.
Diligent effort — doryoku (努力), the virtue Japan prizes above talent. Tsutomu (努) names the worker; steady effort beats genius that idles.
