Background Story
In Japanese it is written with 陽 or 日, both read hi and meaning "light, sun" or "sun, day", combined with 菜 (na), "vegetables, greens", and other kanji combinations are possible. In Polynesian it comes from a word meaning "grey, white, silver" and is the name of a Polynesian goddess linked to the moon. A third origin is Arabic حنّاء (ḥinnāʾ), meaning "henna", the plant Lawsonia inermis and the reddish dye made from it. In Hawaiian and Māori the word hina means "prostrate; gray" and "gray" respectively.
