Interesting question. I remember at Japanese school, we did this little activity where we tried to find out the meaning of our names. The teacher told me that my name meant "sheep with wings", but perhaps he was breaking the kanji down? According to the dictionary, the kanji does mean to fly.
I'll have to ask dad. I'll get back to you.
Update: Just phoned dad. He said it means "to fly". Thanks for bringing this point up anrakushi, I've gone most of my life thinking my name meant something else. Now I have to change my avatar :P
