What does the name "Ashido" mean?


I keep searching around for what it means, since I want to use the name as one
of my characters. But the closest I've ever gotten to a translation was Mina
Ashido's name being a pun on meaning Acid. And even then I feel like I'm
missing alternate, more viable meanings depending on the spelling and their
english meanings. Help?




I'm not even sure if you know about kanji, but there are more than one way to
write the surname "Ashido" with Japanese characters. Ashido is not a common
surname, and therefore it's not possible to give the "meaning" unless we know
the kanji version of it.

Here are two possibilities with the meaning of each kanji.

  * 足土 Ashido: 足 = foot, 土 = soil
  * 芦戸 Adhido: 芦 = reed (plant), 戸 = door

That said, generally speaking, the meaning of a surname is usually not worth
thinking about. It's something we unconditionally inherit from out parents,
and almost no one can explain when and how their surname was coined.
