Meaning & History
Derived from the Japanese kanji 青葉 (aoba) referred to "fresh, green/blue leaves". For a long time, the distinction between "blue" and "green" in Japanese was not made. This name can be also written 蒼 / 碧 (ao) meaning "green, blue" as well or 葵 (ao) meaning "hollyhock, mallow" combined with 葉 (ba) meaning "leaf, blade, needle" or 波 (ba) meaning "wave, billow, ripple" or 羽 (ba) meaning "feather, wing". This name is more often used as surname or given name for fictional characters. Other kanji combinations are also possible.
