Cyrus' ancestor could have easily come from out of Japan to justify having that name. It looks like they're importing things from the west at this time, people included.

I think they're alternate readings of the same kanji used in the modern names. That is, the modern names aren't actually written in kanji but it's obvious which kanji you'd use.

Yep, all four names (Hikari, Kouki, Akari, Rei) are possible readings of 光. "Kouki" might require a second kanji though.

It doesn't apply to the Japanese version since he's not Rei there.

I assume it's to preserve the puns and references to the light kanji. "Rei" as in ray, like a ray of light. Akari is probably more recognizable for people with a basic level weebs because hikari=light and it's more sight-recognizable as light when romanized.
