The kanji 瑛 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phonetic-semantic compound. It combines the radical 玉 (gyoku, meaning "jade" or "jewel") with the phonetic element 英 (ei, meaning "flower," "hero," or "splendor"). The 玉 radical indicates the association with something precious or beautiful, while 英 provides the sound and contributes to the meaning of brilliance or luster. The combination therefore suggests the beauty and clarity of a precious stone like jade.
