It's actually the Japanese translation of arcade (as in shopping arcade). I wanted something short with available domain names.

The word アーケード (akedo) does exist but is not used very often, and the average Japanese person would probably be confused if you used it. Game arcades are called ゲームセンター (game center) and shopping arcades are called 商店街 (shoutengai).
Not to throw shade on your name choice though, I think it's cute and a nice short name.
