The name Asagao is a girl's name of Japanese origin meaning "morning glory, morning bindweed".

Asagao is a floral Japanese name referring to the morning glory (or morning bindweed), a plant whose flower opens in the morning and closes by afternoon or evening. In Japan and within Buddhist beliefs, it is used as a symbol of life's impermanence and changeability and a reminder to enjoy the moment your are in.
 
The name appears in classic Japanese literature, in The Tale of Genji (or Genji Monogatari) by 11th century noble woman, 	Murasaki Shikibu. Her name is sometimes translated to mean "bellflower" or "bluebell" too.
