Just looked it up, and I'm seeing that his name is a sort of contradiction. His first name is "Light", and the characters in his last name mean "night god".
It sounds like sort of a "light vs dark" / "good vs evil" wordplay, although I don't know if that counts as a pun.
And they spell "Light" with the Kanji for moon. (夜神 月) So just the reading of the Kanji is "Moon Nightgod".
Extra Funfact: His pen name " Kira" means "glitter/sparkle". As in stars are "kirakira".
it's supposed to be killer (キラー), but japanese is excellent at butchering foreign languages.
