Willow
柳 is the Chinese, old Korean Hanja, and Japanese Kanji for willow (as in willow tree).
In ancient Chinese astronomy/astrology, this can refer to the “Willow” constellation (one of the 28 mansions).
If you want to get scientific, this can refer to any tree of the genus Salix including the weeping willow (Salix babylonica).
Notes:
In Chinese, this can be the surname Liu.
In Japanese, it can be the surname Yanagi. It can also be pronounced other ways for different rare surnames. Some Japanese use this as a female given name.
In Korean, this can be the surname Yu, though most of the time
it’s
pronounced ryu in Korean.
The Geisha’s World
花柳界 literally means “Flower Willow World/Kingdom.”
In Japanese, this means “The Realm of the Geisha” or “World of the Geisha.” I suppose there is a presumption that the Geisha is surrounded by flowers in their residence. In Chinese and Korean, this pretty much has colloquially come to mean “The Red Light District” or to refer to pimps, prostitutes, and johns as a group.
Mariusz
This is a common Mandarin Chinese transliteration for the male Polish name Mariusz.
Ludmilla
柳德米拉 is the name Ludmilla in Chinese (Mandarin).
