What each kanji means
Reason, logic — the ordering principle of things (理科 is science). Ri names — Riko (理子), Rio (理央), Satori — pair beauty with intellect.
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.
Dream. Yume (夢) and Yumeka (夢香) name aspiration directly — a child who both dreams and is dreamed of; the character hangs in calligraphy in countless Japanese homes.
