Annei

安寧あんねい

Built from two Japanese characters, 安 (an) and 寧 (nei), that both carry much the same sense: calm, peace, tranquillity.

Meaning and origin

Annei is a plain, doubled compound of two kanji that both say "peaceful", the kind of auspicious pairing Japanese given names still borrow for its meaning rather than for a person it once belonged to.
