Meaning edit
Used as a noun, Koruri is the Japanese word for the Siberian blue robin (Luscinia cyane).[3][4] As a given name or proper noun, the first kanji stroke of koruri is ko. Sounds that start with ka are often used for those in relationships, or for actions such as winning, competing, overcoming, and cooperating. Sounds with vowels such as ko (o) express open-mindedness and give the impression of being cooperative and solid. This first kanji stroke can also mean small which gives the impression of cuteness. Next is the kanji character ru, which has the images of jewelry and gorgeous. The final kanji stroke used is ri, which means refined and beautiful.[5] In terms of luck, the status (地格は) of the name is determined by the Kanji used.[5] A majority of the different varieties of Kanji used in the name indicate great luck with the exception of 瑚瑠璃 and 瑚瑠里.[2]
