The origin of mine isn't really notable. I wanted to make a generic awesome japanese name, so I made up Kuronami, which, by itself means "Black Wave". I built upon that and added Maki, initially just the generic one. Then I learned that certain Kanjis that's also read Maki means "Winding", as in 'Incoming'.

So literally, Maki Kuronami means Winding Black Wave.
