Reading

あと
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

When something leaves traces or marks behind, it's because they were there, but now they're gone, and you've come 後 (あと) they left.
