What each kanji means
Beauty — the most direct aesthetic blessing in the language. Mi endings (Emi 恵美, Manami 愛美, Yumi 由美) have adorned generations; the character itself depicts a great offering, beauty as generosity.
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.
