True Love
屋烏の愛 is a Japanese way to express true love or deep love.
The phrase literally suggests that this is a love for someone so strong that it can reach a crow perched on that person's roof.
Kazuya
一八 is the female given name Kazuya.
This is the same name as used for Kazuya Mishima.
This is also a word that means wall iris, roof iris, Iris tectorum, or fleur-de-lis.
Leung
Surname
梁 is the most common character that can represent a surname romanized as Leung (from Cantonese) or Liang (from Mandarin).
The actual meaning is roof beam, structural beam, pillar and sometimes bridge.
This can refer to the Liang dynasty of China (502-557 AD).
This can also be the rare surname Reon in Japanese.
Love the Flower, Love the Pot also
Love Me, Love My Dog
This proverb, 爱花连盆爱爱女疼女婿, literally translates as “If one loves a flower, [one will] love its pot; [if one really] loves [one's] daughter, [one will also] love [one's] son-in-law.”
Figuratively, is similar to the English proverbs:
Love me, love my dog.
Love for a person extends even to the crows on his roof.
Iris Flower
鳶尾花 is the title for the iris flower in Chinese and Japanese.
If your name happens to be Iris, this is a beautiful way to express your name by meaning in both of these languages (it will mean your name but not sound like your name).
Can also mean wall iris, roof iris, or Iris tectorum.
