Flower, blossom, or picture
Hanae is a Japanese name with multiple potential meanings depending on the kanji used. Most commonly, it combines 'hana' (flower) with 'e' (picture, favor, or blessing), resulting in the poetic interpretation of a floral picture or a blossoming grace. It is a classic choice in Japan that feels fresh and sophisticated in a Western context.
