Meaning & History
From 暁 (akatsuki) meaning "dawn, daybreak," shifted from earlier akatoki, made up of 明 (aka) meaning "bright" and 時 (toki) meaning "time."
It can also be combined with 月 (tsuki) meaning "moon." Alternatively, the first kanji can be substituted with one that can be read as aka, e.g. 緋 meaning "scarlet."One bearer of this name was I-Novel author Akatsuki Kambayashi (上林 暁), born Iwaki Tokuhiro (徳廣 巌城) (1902-1980).This name is rarely used.
