Origin and meaning of Honoka
Honoka can be written 穂香 ("grain ear" + "fragrance") or 帆花 ("sail" + "flower"), among many kanji combinations that, as always in Japanese naming, change the meaning while keeping the same pronunciation. It is a girls' name widespread since the 2000s, its soft four-syllable sound a consistent favorite in recent Japanese rankings.
