Etymology
Kaguya (香久矢?) - Ka (香?) comes from the kanji, 香り, which means "fragrance" [1] , Gu (久?) means "eternity" or "forever" [2], while Ya (矢?) means "arrow"[3]  which eludes to Madoka's great skill at archery.

Madoka (まどか?) - When written with the kanji, 円, it can mean "yen" or "round"[4], with the latter eluding to Madoka's theme as Cure Selene, as the moon is often round.

Cure Selene is a noun and means "the Greek goddess of the moon"[5].
