The name **Shoyo** is of Japanese origin. It can be written with kanji such as 翔陽. The character 'Shō' (翔) can mean "to soar" or "to fly," while 'yō' (陽) can mean "sun" or "positive." The combined meaning, which can be interpreted as "soaring sun," is highly appropriate for a star [[Quidditch]] player.
