Some websites say it stands for Enlightenment, Paper White, but others say it
means Weak Willed. I'm confused on which one is right?

What's does 白紙 (Hakushi) really stand for?
白紙 means:

  1. blank paper; blank/unfilled form; blank sheet
  2. scratch (as in "from scratch"); no progress; blank slate; _tabula rasa_
  3. (literally) paper that is white

See the definition on
[jlearn.net](https://jlearn.net/Dictionary/Browse/1475200-hakushi-%E3%81%AF%E3%81%8F%E3%81%97-%E7%99%BD%E7%B4%99)
and [jisho](https://jisho.org/word/%E7%99%BD%E7%B4%99). 白紙 never means
_englightment_ nor _weak will_. I believe you have made some weird mistake
when you looked it up.

Note that _white paper_ in [this
sense](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_paper) is 白書 or ホワイトペーパー.
