Background Story
In Japanese, Aki comes from the kanji 晶 (aki) meaning "clear, crystal", 明 (aki) meaning "bright, light, clear", or 秋 (aki) meaning "autumn", and it can also be formed from 亜 (a) meaning "second, Asia" with 希 (ki) meaning "hope", among other kanji combinations. Behind the Name records a separate Aki as a short form of Joakim, used in Basque, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Macedonian, among other languages. In Finnish it began as a diminutive of Joakim, less often of Aukusti or Akseli.
