I’m trying to verify the meaning of the word Kōya (荒野)

Sorry if this isn’t the right place.

It’s a bit of an odd request but I’m not sure where else I can verify it.

I’m doing some brainstorming and have come across the above word. My understanding is that it means something on the lines of freedom/wilderness or great strength.

Is that the case or am I being lied to?

    If you’re studying Japanese, I recommend becoming comfortable with searching up Kanji on sites like jisho.org. You’ve already got the kanji and the reading, so it’s as easy as searching.

    If you’re looking for tattoo ideas/looking for aesthetic kanji, no it doesn’t mean “great strength”.
