Sōma
颯真そうま
A Japanese boy's name usually built from characters read sō, evoking a rushing gust of wind, and ma, "genuine, true"; other kanji pairs give the same sound a different sense.
Meaning and origin
Sōma belongs to the large group of Japanese boys' names chosen mainly for how they sound, since parents can pair the two syllables with several different kanji and still keep the same reading.
