Meaning & History
Maki 2 is a Japanese surname. In Japanese, it is written with the ma character (真) meaning "real, genuine" and the ki character (木) meaning "tree". Together, the surname Maki 2 thus means "true tree" or "genuine tree", and it should not be confused with other Japanese surnames sharing the same romanized form but having different characters, such as the more common Maki (槇 or 槙) derived from the Chinese hackberry tree. The distribution is exclusively Japanese, and the surname is relatively rare compared to other readings of the same kanji combinations.
