Meaning & History

This name can be used as 揚羽, 亜夏羽, 亜華羽 or 愛華羽 with 揚 (you, a.garu, -a.ge, a.geru) meaning "fry in deep fat, hoist," 亜 (a, tsu.gu) meaning "Asia, come after, rank next," 愛 (ai, ito.shii, o.shimu, kana.shii, mana, me.deru, a) meaning "affection, favourite, love," 夏 (ka, ga, ge, natsu) meaning "summer," 華 (ka, ke, hana) meaning "flower, gay, gorgeous, luster, ostentatious, petal, shine, showy, splendour" and 羽 (u, ha, hane, wa) meaning "feathers."

As a word, Ageha (揚羽) refers to a type of butterfly known as the swallowtail, abbreviated from agehachō (揚羽蝶), derived from a combination of 上げ (age), the imperfective and continuative form of the verb 上げる (ageru) meaning "to raise," and 羽 (ha).

Fictional bearers include Ageha (揚羽) from the shōjo manga Basara, Ageha (アゲハ) from the 1996 film Swallowtail and Ageha Yoshina (夜科 アゲハ) from the manga series Psyren.

This name is rarely given to girls, if given at all.
