Meaning & History

As a unisex name, this name combines 亜 (a, tsu.gu) meaning "Asia, come after, rank next," 安 (an, yasu, yasu.i, yasu.maru, yasu.raka, a) meaning "cheap, low, peaceful, rested" or 阿 (a, o, omone.ru, kuma) meaning "corner, flatter, nook" with 久 (kyuu, ku, hisa.shii) meaning "long time" & 里 (ri, sato) meaning "parent's home, ri (unit of distance - equal to 3.927 km), village."

As a masculine name, it's the same except that the last kanji is replaced by 利 (ri, ki.ku) which means "advantage, benefit, profit, gain."
As a feminine name, it combines 亜 with 久 & 梨 (ri, nashi) meaning "pear tree," 理 (ri, kotowari) meaning "justice, logic, reason, truth" or 莉 (rai, ri, rei), part of 茉莉 (matsuri) meaning "jasmine."

One (male) bearer of this name is former racing driver Aguri Suzuki (鈴木 亜久里) (1960-).
