Subject: Hinata

Hello!

I have a question on the name Hinata. This website gives the meaning for this name as from the origins of "sunflower, or "facing the sun." In other places, the name meaning for this name is given as "sunny place." Is "sunny place" the actual meaning or should we attribute this name meaning more towards what is given on this website? Or are the meanings given from both places essentially meaning the same thing?

I don't know Japanese, but I was told that "Hinawari" is the name that means "sunflower." I am a bit confused on this subject, so some more expert opinion on this subject would be great.
