The ring name is written 朝乃丈. Taken character by character:

| 乃 | of (a classical possessive) |
⚠️The character 丈 is left out above: we do not yet have a meaning for it that we are sure of, and we would rather show a gap than a guess.
These are the dictionary meanings of the characters, not a statement about why this particular name was chosen — that is the stablemaster’s business, and we do not guess at it. How ring names are put together →
