The first character in "Ikeda" is for "ike," and its listed meanings are along the lines of "pond," "pool," "lake," "cistern," "basin," and "reservoir."

"Mitsuru" is also made up of two kanji. The first kanji can mean "light," "ray," or "shine," and it is more often pronounced as "hikari" or "kou."

The second kanji, "ru" (which can also be pronounced as "ryu"), means such things as "stream" and "current" - generally, things dealing with the flow of water.
