Question about the Japanese Language

[alecdavis47]

The more I learn about Japanese culture the more I enjoy it. However, the more things perplex me. I am not good in the slightest at kanji or the Japanese language so I thought I'd come here to ask. In two animes there are characters name Tamaki. One is a male, one is a female. What's the meaning behind the name and is it normally unisexual?

It can be both a male and female given name, but a surname, too. The meaning of the given name changes according to the Chinese characters used: 環, 環季, 璉, ...
