. Hey, everyone! I named my main character Kouki, but I'm unsure of the
meaning of the variation I'm using (幸輝). I want to make sure that the one I
use means "happiness." Could you please help?

Which version of the name こうき means happiness?
You will be very glad to know that you can solve this problem without help
from other people. First go to an online name dictionary and find all the
"kouki"s:

answer
こうき (Kouki) can be divided into two syllables "Kou" and "Ki", and each sound
can have many corresponding kanji. Thus there are literally hundreds of
possible combinations that can be read Kouki. Among them, yes, 幸 (Kou) is a
common kanji meaning "happiness". 倖 is a less common variant. The second kanji
that corresponds to "Ki" is arbitrary, but the one you chose (輝 =
"shine/glow") seems reasonable and common to me.
