Etymology: Derived from the Japanese elements 'ya' (弥 or 矢), often meaning 'increasingly' or 'arrow', and 'saku' (作 or 咲), which can mean 'to create' or 'to bloom'. Alternatively, interpreted as 'yasu' (靖 or 安) meaning 'peaceful' or 'calm', combined with 'ku' as an archaic suffix for names, suggesting a helper or supporter. The most plausible etymology links it to 'Yasukuni' or similar roots, where 'yasu' means peace.
