What each kanji means
Truth, genuineness — nothing false. A powerhouse of Japanese naming: Makoto (真), Mao (真央), Shinji (真司), Manami (真奈美). It plants authenticity at a name's heart.
To seek, pursue — the 求 of 求道 (pursuing the way). Motomu (求) names the seeker; a life defined by the quality of its questions.
Field, plain — wide open and free. In names like Nozomi and surnames everywhere (Nakano, Ono), it grounds a name in open land and natural freedom.
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).
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.
