Shadow, shelter, or sand
In Sanskrit, the name is often associated with a shadow or shelter, implying protection. In Japanese, it can be formed from kanji meaning 'sand' and 'silk,' though meanings vary based on the characters used. It is a rare, cross-cultural choice that feels modern yet grounded.
