Maybe u(y)e can be read as 'planting' but if you check out names like Ueda, Uehara, Uemura and Ueno at the Ancestry.com website, you'll find that they're all given the 'upper' meaning. The link to Uehara is http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Uehara-name-meaning.ashx and you can check out the other ones yourself.
