In essence they have randomly renamed a character with such a translation, because a name and the metaphorical meaning a name might have are two different things and not a substitute for each other in a literal way. Its like taking Aoi from Aoi Yori Aoshi and translating that as Blue-chan, because that is what her name means and she has blue hair. You just don't. |

Somehow she (and the art style) looks familiar, can't think why though.
