Beautiful Japanese female names have undergone the most significant changes over the past 100 years. These changes affected not only their meanings, but also dramatic changes occurred in the spelling of names. It was allowed to use new signs and hieroglyphs. Modern Japanese female names and their meanings clearly demonstrate the changing attitude of the Japanese towards their traditions. For example, recently in Japan they have increasingly begun to give children the names of anime or manga characters. However, this phenomenon is already spreading beyond the country and spreading throughout the world.

Japanese girl names are divided into several groups depending on the component they contain. This may be a component that has an abstract meaning, that is, showing the desire to possess some qualities in a future life. It could also be animal ingredients that have now fallen out of favor and are now considered old-fashioned. One of the most popular components in the name is the plant component. However, in addition to the listed components, you can find Japanese names for girls with numerals or even with seasons and natural phenomena.

Names that contain more than two components have an exponential component in their structure, which is usually located at the end. For example, the most common indicator is the ending -ko, which literally translates as “child”. But nowadays it has become considered unfashionable, so in most cases this component is discarded.

Beautiful Japanese male names are usually divided into two types: single-component and multi-component. One-component names include a verb, as a result of which the name contains an ending - y, for example, Mamoru “protector”, or an adjective with the ending - si, for example, Hiroshi “broad”. In some cases, you can find names written with just one hieroglyph and having one reading. Names consisting of two hieroglyphs, as a rule, are indicators of masculinity. For example, man, husband, son, warrior, courageous, etc. Each of these indicators has its own ending. Such names usually contain a hieroglyph that shows how the name should be read.

There are also names consisting of three components. In this case, the indicator will be two-component. For example, “youngest son”, “eldest son”, etc. In rare cases, you can meet a person with a three-component name and a one-component indicator. It is very rare to find names that have four components and are written in Japanese alphabet rather than in hieroglyphs.
