Kanao is from the Japanese — a modern formation. Princess Kanao — modern Japanese-anime heritage naming.
Kanao does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Kanao reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
