What each kanji means
Fine sand — countless, pure grains polished by water. An elegant phonetic in names like Sayaka (沙耶香) and Risa (理沙).
Ten thousand — the myriad. Mao (万央) and Kazuma (和万) use it as a multiplier of fortune; it opens the celebratory cheer 'banzai' (万歳, ten thousand years).
Early, swift — the freshness of morning. In names like Sayaka (早耶香) and Saori (早織) it adds briskness and a head start in life.
