What each kanji means
Center, heart of things. Popular in modern names like Rio (理央) and Mao (真央) — famously figure skater Mao Asada — placing the child at the calm center of their world.
The lotus (芙蓉) — also a classical epithet for Mt. Fuji (芙蓉峰). In names like Fuka (芙香) it combines floral elegance with the mountain's grandeur.
Blessing, grace, generosity. A perennial in Japanese names for generations — Megumi (恵) and Keiko (恵子) — expressing the wish for a kind child who both receives and gives blessings.
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.
