the connotation is purely negative, more like rubbish or refuse, something unnecessary, but it's also similar to the name of a Hebrew soldier in some writings which explicitly became a crucial part of a holy name for the biblical messiah so I guess the full insinuation is that he's committed heroic deeds that have gone unsung and I guess Kovu is supposed to be that kind of bring-back? I don't know.
Google is telling me it has multiple meanings: “want,” “dirt,” or “garbage.” And again, it’s not even his official name. If we’re gonna talk about weird name choices let’s talk about why Mufasa and Sarabi literally named their son “lion,” since that one’s actually canon.
