In Japanese contexts, it could be a romanization of several different kanji combinations, potentially meaning 'sound,' 'respect,' or other concepts depending on the characters used. The name gained some recognition as a character nickname in the Japanese anime series 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.'
