Meaning & History

This name can be used on its own as 翔 (shou, kake.ru, to.bu) meaning "fly, soar" or it can be combined with 琉 (ryuu, ru) meaning "gem, lapis lazuli, precious stone," 瑠 (ryuu, ru) meaning "lapis lazuli" or 流 (ryuu, ru, naga.re) meaning "a sink, current, flow, forfeit."
Other forms of this name include 駆 (ku, ka.keru, ka.ru) which means "advance, drive, gallop, impel, inspire, run" and 駆流.

As a verb, 翔 and 駆, added with る (ける for 駆), mainly means "to run, to dash." However, their second meanings are different for both, 翔る being "to fly, to soar" and 駆ける being "to canter, to gallop" (galloping as in galloping one's horse).
