Mugi

Mugi (麦) primarily means wheat, barley, rye, or oats. Komugi (小麦) is specifically wheat and ōmugi (大麦) is barley. It's used in food (like barley tea or barley shochu), agriculture, and can also be a nature-inspired given name, symbolizing growth or the harvest season.

Mugiwara (麦わら) is a Japanese word meaning "straw," but in the context of the anime One Piece, it's an abbreviation for "straw hat" (Mugiwara Boushi) and refers to the protagonist Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew, the Straw Hat Pirates (Mugiwara Kaizoku-dan). "Mugi" means wheat/barley, and "wara" means straw, so it literally means wheat/barley straw, symbolizing Luffy's iconic hat.
