The meaning they have isn't actually correct. The name Hikaru comes from Λ⎠which is the Japanese verb that translates to "to shine".

Whether it's "light" or "shining" depends on which kanji you use. And yes, it is both masculine and feminine. [noted -ed]

You said that both Hikari and Hikaru mean light. Hikaru is more accurately "shining", and Hikari is light. :)
