As Nichiren explained the mantra in his "Ongi Kuden" (御義口伝), a transcription of his lectures on the Lotus Sutra, Namu or Nam (南無) derives from the Sanskrit namas, whereas Myōhō Renge Kyō is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese title of the Lotus Sutra in the translation by Kumarajiva (hence, daimoku).

 Buddhism - Nam-myoho-renge-kyo - SGI UK Website
The literal meaning of the word 'Nam' is 'respect' or 'dedication' - so the whole phrase has the simple meaning of 'devotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra'.
'Myoho' explains at least two major principles of life: the relationship between life and death, and the relationship between our most enlightened, or Buddha, state and all our other nine conditions or states of life.
'Kyo' is the interconnectedness of all phenomena; and how our prayer or the sound of our chanting can affect people and situations out of our immediate sphere.

Without the ability to do this, it is extremely difficult to develop the capacity to appreciate the sufferings of others, or to support them in overcoming their sufferings.
Renge, which means lotus flower, is used to symbolize the wonder of this Law.

Buddhism teaches the existence of a law of cause and effect which explains that when we make a cause, the anticipated effect of that cause is stored deep in our lives, and when the right circumstances appear then we experience the effect.
This concept of cause and effect is at the heart of Buddhism, and the characters for 'renge' in Nam-myoho-renge-kyo mean the simultaneity of the internal cause and the internal effect.
Renge literally means 'lotus flower', which is a beautiful plant that floats on the surface of water and its beauty is nourished through its roots in the mud.

 Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
Possiamo asserire che ogni pratica religiosa, in fondo, è compresa in ‘Nam’, poiché in questa parola è contenuto il riconoscimento di qualcosa di profondo e ulteriore, di un ‘tremendum’, di un ché di numinoso, immanente e trascendente rispetto a chi la pronuncia.
Se questa fosse lunga ‘Nam’ significherebbe ‘Nome’ e comunque, sia etimologicamente che foneticamente, esiste una stretta parentela fra i due termini.
Nam indica anche il Nome Divino e viene utilizzato in molti mantra e preghiere indù: per esempio ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ (saluto a Shiva).
