The best Japanese female names and their meaning: list in Russian and English with translation

Important: in Japanese tradition, the surname is pronounced first, and then the personal name. Keep this in mind when communicating with representatives of Japanese culture.

Prefixes in Japanese:

Last name + “san” is a universal polite address;

Last name + “sama” – an address to government members, company directors, and clergy.

Last name + “sensei” – an address to martial arts masters, doctors, as well as professionals in any field;

Last name + “kun” – addressing teenagers and young men, as well as senior to junior or superior to inferior (boss to subordinate);

Name + “chan” (or “chan”) - addressed to children and among children under ten years of age; parents' appeal to their children of any age; in an informal setting - to loved ones and close friends.

In Japan, there is still a law, preserved from the Middle Ages, according to which husband and wife must have the same surname. This is almost always the husband's surname, but there are exceptions - for example, if the wife is from a noble, famous family. However, it is still not the case in Japan that spouses have a double surname or each their own.

The meaning of a name depends on the hieroglyphs that make it up. In addition, the pronunciation of some sounds in Japanese is radically different from the way non-native speakers pronounce them. In this regard, many phonemic errors are made, including in proper names.

What other names are directly associated with death?

Every lover of the art of rakugo, manga or anime fan knows about the existence of such a thing as “Shinigami”. In Japanese folklore, Shinigami is Death itself, personified, representing a separate, independent character.

But it's not that simple. Shinigami is also the name of the ancient deity of Death. If God is meant, and not a phenomenon, then the following combination of hieroglyphs is used - 死神.

Accordingly, if they are present in the name, it means that it is a male or female name with the meaning “Death”. However, the concept of “Shinigami” is much broader than the designation of the name of one deity. We can say that this is a whole subculture, very reminiscent of the gothic style familiar to Europeans.

The following names are directly related to death in their meaning:

• Izanami (イザナミ) was the name of the ancient goddess, the wife of Izanagi, who initially personified creation, but then began to bring disease, chaos and death to the world of people.
• Emma (閻魔) is a variant pronunciation of the name “Yama”, which belongs to the lord of jigoku, that is, the ruler and judge of the kingdom of the dead.

Accordingly, each name, which contains part of these names, carries the meaning of death.

Secrets of choosing a name for a girl

There are many ways to choose a name for a child. A tactic the Japanese use is to use an image as inspiration. For example, it could be an image of nature, a natural phenomenon, seasons, color, art, jewelry, and so on. Parents can then choose the number of kanji in the name (one, two or three kanji

), and choose any, such as “sea”, “star” or “spring”, in order to use them in the name.

Japanese female baby names also depend on what the parents want from their child. The characters for courage, happiness, wisdom, success or beauty are widely used in names to show that one wishes or hopes for what the basic qualities of a child will be. Hieroglyphs in the name can also show the future image of their carrier (internal and external features, character, and so on).

Parents can also choose any characters they want to use and then come up with a name (for example, they can use random when choosing, because there are a lot of characters). There are many kanji

which are popular for girls' names.

When parents wish to name a child after one of their names or the name of a predecessor or relative, they use one of the kanji

in that person's name instead of giving them the same name.

The baby's name can also be chosen based on sound. If certain hieroglyphs sound especially pleasant to the ears of parents, then this may become the name of their child.

Naming a child after a historical figure, manga or anime hero or heroine, or celebrity is also common.

About endings

You may notice that many Japanese names end in the same way. There are common endings placed in names that are based on the female or male gender. Here is an example of popular endings in female names.

~ a, ~ ti, ~ e, ~ ho, ~ i, ~ ka, ~ ki, ~ ko, ~ mi, ~ na, ~ but, ~ o, ~ ri, ~ sa, etc.

Most endings for Japanese female names belong to past generations - all names ending in -ko, -e and -yo, which were extremely popular at the turn of the century, are no longer in fashion. Since 1980, the popularity of these traditional names began to decline. For two decades, Japanese girl names ending in -ka, -na, and -mi occupied the top ten lists of names popular among Japanese girls, but more recently there has been a shift to a type of simple, two-syllable name that has not been popular for a century: Hana, Noah, May.

But these are short names with their own characteristics. For centuries, girls' names have been common Japanese words: crane (鶴つる "Tsuru"), clear (清きよ "Kiyo"), chrysanthemum (菊きく "Kiku"). Even after parents began using endings such as -ko and -e, the words remained simple, only the number of characters increased: Tsuru became Tsuruko, Kiyo became Kiyoko, Kiku became Kikue. As we can see, the words have not changed much, only the endings have become a new fashionable trend; such names were the only ones in use for at least 500 years. But now, for the first time since the 1600s, Japanese parents are giving their daughters names that have no meaning in ordinary Japanese (or are not as widely known or popular in use).

Mei and Rio, Airi and Yua, none of these names mean anything, with the caveat that parents can assign them any meaning by writing them in different characters, but such words are free from the weight of centuries-old associations. As Japanese culture becomes more individualistic, this is a significant indicator.

Some of the currently popular names have traditional meanings. Hana is “flower”, Hina is “doll” or “chick” and implies something tiny and cute, Aoi is “blue” or “mallow”, Sakura is “cherry blossom”, and Koharu is “little spring”. But don't think that they will always sound like this. You can read more about an example of parsing the hieroglyph “flower” in names below.

Meaning of Japanese surnames

Girls always want to be bright, unusual, to attract the attention of guys and at the same time remain a mystery to them.

A good option for creating an expressive image is an unusual surname. To do this, you can refer to Japanese initials.

In Japan, surnames are treated quite reverently. Usually it has a certain meaning and serves as a symbol of the family.

The people know all their relatives going back several generations; moreover, they know where their surname came from and why it came to belong to them.

It is worth noting! A surname is a hereditary family name. It is passed on from father to children, or rather sons. In Japan, wives always take their husband's last name.

If you want to replace your last name or are interested in the initials of other nations, namely Japan.

Then it’s worth considering the popular options and their meanings:
