๐ About Aoi
Aoi is a luminous Japanese name with dual meanings โ hollyhock (่ต) and blue or blue-green (่ผ/็ขง) โ evoking the colour of summer skies and the graceful flower beneath them. The hollyhock was the sacred emblem of the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan's ruling dynasty from 1603 to 1868, lending the name a quiet aristocratic heritage. Technically unisex, it is overwhelmingly given to girls in modern Japan, consistently ranking among the top names. Its serene, nature-forward energy reflects traditional Japanese values of harmony and simplicity.
