Akikoloid is named as such because she's essentially meant to be the "loid" of Akiko, while not exactly voiced by Akiko. Much like how Yohioloid is the "loid" of Yohio, Gachapoid is the "poid" of Gachapin, and so forth. So basically N-loid (Or N-poid) is the Vocaloid of N, where N is any character or person.

But yes Yohio isn't exactly huge, I only heard of him through Yohioloid. I'm sure there are also  plenty who haven't heard of Gackt before Gackpo or Megumi before Gumi.
