Common kanji combinations might include those related to "peace" or "calm" (安 - an) and "village" or "urai" (里 - ri or 浦 - ura, which can be pronounced similarly in certain contexts). However, without specific historical records for a particular family line, the precise meaning and etymology remain speculative.
