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].
