Hello there!
I'm very new to the site but I would really appreciate some help in reguards to the kanji symbols for my last name. My grandparents taught them to me before they passed away and I've seen them the same way on the internet. It's Hayashi and I know that it means forest, but I recently heard that most kanji symbols have many meanings! If I wanted to get a tattoo in their memory with the symbols, is there any way that they could be misconstrued or take on a different meaning?
Bonus: Their first names were Namiko and Takane. If you could show me the kanji and any extra meanings that would be amazing. I was told that Namiko meant wave child and Takane meant mountain. They were forced into camps during WWII and had their names changed to Betty and Jack.
Thank you so much!!!
