Etymology[]
Aoki (青木?) - Aoki comes from Ao (青?) meaning "blue", a reference to her alter ego Cure Beauty whose theme color is blue, and Ki (木?) meaning "wood", "tree" or "timber". So her name means blue tree.
Reika (れいか?) - Reika is a Japanese name that has many meanings by using different kanji characters. So it could mean "beautiful flower" (麗花?), "wise, beautiful, elegant" (怜華?), "rule, order, excellent" (令佳?), "beautiful summer" (麗夏?) or "sound of jewels, flower" (玲花?).[2] In the prequel, it was said that her name comes from "beautiful and elegant" (麗華?).
