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 'u' of uchū (宇宙) — the universe. A favorite for parents who want cosmic scale in a name, suggesting a mind as wide as the sky.
Circle; the yen itself — completeness without corners (円満 is harmonious). Madoka (円) suggests a personality with no sharp edges: whole, warm, at peace.
