Meaning & History
From the stem of Okinawan adjective 美/清らさん (churasan) meaning "beautiful, lovely," cognate to Japanese 清ら (kiyora), an archaic term referring to elegant and dazzling beauty, otherwise the stem of 清らか (kiyoraka) meaning "clean, pure, chaste."
For the final element, any kanji that can be read as ra is used, like 楽 meaning "comfort, ease" or 良 meaning "good." When written after 美, any kanji that evokes an image can also be used, e.g. 心, normally read as kokoro meaning "heart, mind." As for the initial element, aside from 美, any single or multiple kanji whose readings can be shifted to chu can be used, such as 宙 meaning "space, air" or 千由, from 千 meaning "thousand" and 由 meaning "reason, cause."This name is rarely used.
