What each kanji means
The 琉 of Ryukyu (琉球) — Okinawa's old kingdom — and of lapis-like gemstone glass. Ruka (琉夏) and Ryuto (琉斗) carry southern-island brilliance, a modern favorite.
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.
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.
Longevity and felicitation — the character written at celebrations and weddings (寿). Names like Kazutoshi and Hisashi carry a built-in toast to long life.
