The Japanese name for Japan is Nihon / Nippon, where the written pictographs mean "sun origin."

In the originally-Chinese characters, the name referred to Japan's location east of mainland China, in the direction of the rising sun.

Where does the moon go when the sun is rising?

The moon is always orbiting the earth, and can sometimes be seen when the sun is rising, depending on where you are located at on the earth. So if you can't see the moon when the sun is "rising," it means that it is not visible from your field of view from earth. (this means the moon is behind the earth and you can't see it at the moment).
