In 1869, Tokyo became the capital of Japan. What does the word "Tokyo" mean in English?

In 1869, Emperor Meiji relocated to Edo, and the city was renamed Tokyo in his honor (meaning "Eastern Capital"). Tokyo was already the political and cultural capital of the country, and the emperor's residence elevated it to the status of the de-facto imperial capital.
