Chrysanthemum
菊 is the most simple way to say chrysanthemum in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
菊 is specifically the Chrysanthemum Morifolium species. It can also refer to Aster.
In Japanese, this can be a given name, Kikuji or Kiku. Also a given name, Ju, in Chinese.
Daisy
The yellow flower
雛菊 is how they write "daisy" in Chinese and Japanese. Great if you love daisies, or your name is Daisy. If you translated it directly, this means "chick flower" (as in baby chickens) or "baby chrysanthemum". Of course, when an Asian person reads this, they just think "daisy".
If you're into botany, this title represents "Bellis Perennis".
In Japanese, this can be the female given name, Hinagiku.
