These are not translations, but the origin or etymological meaning of the name in the Japanese language. A translation machine will just spit out "Satoshi Nakamoto" since that is roman alphabet anglicized conversion of the sound of the syllables that make up the name in Kanji. It says nothing about the meaning of those syllables. That requires expert knowledge.
Japanese don't use the roman alphabet. So the meaning comes from the etymology of the Kanji characters 聡 中本

Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto, there are several videos on YouTube showing it many different ways. The most definitive I say is him using the same linker in his code as Satoshi Nakamoto did in Botcoin version 3.20
That's interesting. I take it for granted all major technologies in the past 50 years came from the agencies, mostly DARPA.

Lots of people became Bitcoin millionaires.
My question is are they able to convert it into cash? Or is the wealth kind of stuck inside the Bitcoin ecosystem?
You can easily sell a few BTC on the exchange. Large quantities would take more time to get rid of but yes, it's convertible to fiat money.
Just checked it in google translate.
Satoshi doesn't come up for "knowledge", nor "wisdom" in google translate.

Also, nakamoto doesn't come up for "central", nor "central origin" in google translate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry3XuYMPHtQ (Wisdom is "shie", but apparently the "shi" part is the same for satoSHI in writing. Could be something wisdom, or wise...)
"Sato" apparently means "village" or "native place" - https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-meaning-of/japanese-word-c5a8f40bc028c0a7c4439dde983f165a48c388da.html
So, "Satoshi" could mean the native place of wisdom?? No idea of Japanese, just researching at the moment.
Nakamoto turned out, if you look for "naka" and "moto":
Naka - https://jlptsensei.com/learn-japanese-vocabulary/%E4%B8%AD-naka-meaning-inside%E2%80%8B/ (inside, in, among, within, center, middle)
Moto - https://www.romajidesu.com/dictionary/meaning-of-moto.html (origin, source, base, basis, foundation, root, etc...)
So, based on that, it could make "the native place of wisdom is the central origin"?
This deserves more research.

Yes, I actually edited my comment after the initial fruitless research using google translate.
Can you check it out? It includes the caligraphy of the word "wisdom" - "shie". And "Sato" as in "native place". Yes, no contest on "nakamoto".
