The name made me remember some childhood anime antagonists.

sigh i miss those times.

That show you're referring to is still going, currently going through some filler episodes but it should be back to canon in the new year. The next generation has just started as well.

Akatsuki means "red moon" so it probably appeared in many animes before THAT one.

I think akatsuki means 'dawn' rather than red moon.

暁 is not 赤月

As /u/ZenoArrow pointed out, it means "dawn" or in some contexts, "in the event... (of)"

It's used as the title for Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn) but is otherwise only really known for being a certain group of characters from a certain anime which was implicated.

There are also a few characters who share the name, such as Akatsuki Ousawa. But that would refer to an individual and not a group.

The manga is over though. I couldn't wait to see what happens and finished it.

Yeah, that particular series has ended in the manga, I'm aware of a few key upcoming events but tried to avoid reading the manga so I can keep some of it a surprise. Did you start reading the manga for the next series too (or watch the film)? Has it got off to a good start (in your opinion)?
