What each kanji means
Sprout, bud — new life pushing through soil. Mei (芽依) and Megumi (芽衣美) celebrate beginnings and the unstoppable force of growth.
Lovely, graceful — 綺麗 (beautiful) contains it. Rei (麗) and Reina (麗奈) project polished, dazzling elegance; the character depicts a deer's paired antlers, symmetry as beauty.
To emerge, rise — the 出 of 日の出 (sunrise) and 出世 (rising in the world). Izuru and De readings push forth: talent that will out.
Clothing or robes — evoking silk, elegance and care. Popular in gentle feminine names like Yui (結衣, 'tied robes'), one of Japan's top girls' names of the past two decades.
Longevity and felicitation — the character written at celebrations and weddings (寿). Names like Kazutoshi and Hisashi carry a built-in toast to long life.
