What the name means
The ring name is written 清惠波. Taken character by character:
| 清 | pure, clear |
⚠️The characters 惠, 波 are left out above: we do not yet have a meaning for them that we are sure of, and we would rather show a gap than a guess.
These are the dictionary meanings of the characters, not a statement about why this particular name was chosen — that is the stablemaster’s business, and we do not guess at it. How ring names are put together →
