What each kanji means
To govern, to heal — order restored. Osamu (治) and Haruji recall the Meiji (明治) era of modernization; a name for one who sets things right.
Generation, era, to represent. Kiyo (代) endings like Kazuyo (和代) and Michiyo (美代) link the child to the chain of generations — a classic of Showa-era elegance now charmingly retro.
World, generation, era. In names like Kazuyo (和世) and Seiya (世弥) it connects the child to the wider world and the flow of generations.
Dignified — cold, clear air that straightens the spine (凛とした). Rin (凛) has ranked among the top girls' names for years: beauty with backbone.
