Barbara Norstrand (Solveig Throndardottir), Name Construction in Medieval Japan, p. 43, cites Sada "Correct Spirit/Composure/Modesty" as a moderately common descriptive kanji in nanori prior to 1600 C.E. Hikaru - Solveig, p. 42, cites Hikaru "Shining, Bright" as a simple masculine nanori dating to 1600.Herald of Record: Willehelm Barenjager
