Amano is a Japanese surname that has seen some use as a given name. In Japanese, “ama” can mean “heaven” or “sky,” and “no” is a possessive particle, so Amano could be interpreted as “of the sky” or “heavenly field.”
The name gained some international recognition through video game artist Yoshitaka Amano. As a given name, Amano has an exotic appeal for non-Japanese parents and carries connotations of creativity and artistry.
