Kanji for William
Wa-Ri-Mu
Harmony · Dignity · Valor
Harmony first, then dignity — and when needed, quiet strength.
William has the weight of a crown behind it — kings, conquerors, statesmen. In kanji as 和凛武, the name rearranges that weight in Japanese order: harmony leads, dignity steadies, and strength only follows when it is necessary.
