Ashiro - Does this name mean anything?

Osiris · Oct 30, 2003, 22:35

I'm from the UK and I'm not Japanese but my father gave me a Japanese middle name as he is obsessively fanatical about Japanese culture. He gave me the name "Ashiro".

I was wondering if anyone knew what the name came from? He said it was an historical figure but I haven't been able to find anything about it. Doesn't seem like a comon name either. Could anyone help tell me what it means or where its from?

I don't think it means anything really, it's just a name. From what I can find, there's three ways to write it. Just click "kanji info" on all three to see what each different Kanji means. I hope this helps.

The closest thing I can come to that is 'Aishiteru', and that literally means 'I love you.' Sorry if I haven't been any help.

If true happiness can only be achieved through a state of nothingness, you're going down the right path. The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead. Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Reach to the stars, even if you have to stand on a cactus. I often think I am a reicarnated form of a Muppet. Do you? If it weren't for electricity we'd all be watching television by candlelight. For most people, death comes at the end of their lives. What happens if you get scared half to death twice??? The more I study, the more I know. The more I know, the more I forget. The more I forget, the less I know. So why study?
