As Teppei already said 8):

Teppei wrote: This is kind of a cool topic, as the names in DC both have meanings in themselves (e.g., Ran = orchid) and are often allusions to famous detective stories or writers (Ran from Edogawa Ranpo).

That's right.

Does Agasa Hakase allude to Agatha Christie?

This is who Megure is named after according to Gosho.

Yeah, I love how Aoyama also lampshades his own references in the manga, like when Jodie said Megure was just like Jules Maigret, or when the guests couldn't figure out Kogorou's name and were like "...Akechi Kogorou? No hang on"

This is a guess, but maybe Yamato Kansuke (å¤§å’Œ æ•¢åŠ©) is based off of the samurai Yamamoto Kansuke?
"Yamato" refers to olden Japan and the characters for "Kansuke" mean tragic and assist, according to the dictionary I use (I can't get Rikaichan to work on my browser, so http://kanjidict.stc.cx/dict).

Kudou -> comes from detective Kudou Shunsaku å·¥è—¤ä¿Šä½œ
(Kudou Yusaku's name is å·¥è—¤ å„ªä½œï¼‰
Also, Kudou Shunsaku's great friend is a police officer called Hattori! haha

This is also how Gosho got "Kudou of the East, Hattori of the West" (as mentioned in the end flap of volume 18)

Kisaki Eri
å¦ƒ è‹±é‡Œ = Queen Eri
although è‹± can mean "excelsior, superior" and é‡Œ = "village"

Her name comes from Ellery Queen. ("Eri" is "Ellery" when spoken quickly? lol)

Haibara's name comes from V.I. Warshawski ("Ai") and Cordelia Gray ("ç

Just found a list about the meanings of the Kanji in characters names on one of Miyano-samas old pages. Here is a link:

I like the ones for the Detctive boys

:
Ayumi: walking+pretty
Genta: origin+fat (honestly-why would you ever give your child a name with this sort of Kanji meaning???)
Mitsuhiko: light+excellent

Oookay, this is cool. KANJI FOREVER!!!

But Heiji doesn't nessasarily need to mean "flat+second", it could mean "peace+second".

I like Yukiko's. "existence+rare+child".

Nice!
