Continuing the topic of Japanese names, in this part I will focus on Japanese male names and surnames. I will try to answer the questions: what names and surnames are given to Japanese boys? What do they mean and how do they affect their future fate? What Japanese male names considered "cool" or "samurai" and why? I will also give an unofficial table of translations of Russian male names into Japanese.
It is known that Russian surnames were formed for the most part from generic names (Nikanor -> Nikanorov) and nicknames (Bezrodny -> Bezrodov), including those associated with the profession (Kuznets -> Kuznetsov). formed in strict relation to a specific locality. Therefore, surnames common in the Kanto region, such as Tanaka (田中 - rice field + middle), Ito (伊藤 - hieroglyph for Italy + wisteria), Kobayashi (小林 - small + forest), Watanabe (渡辺 - cross + side), Yamamoto (山本 - mountain + source), etc. are less common in the southern regions of Japan. Unusual surnames are more common there, see the table below (information from the site myoji-yurai.net)
Shimane Prefecture Obina - 帯名 - belt + name Aichi Prefecture Ochi - 越智 - to increase + wisdom Miyazaki Prefecture Kōhi - 甲斐 - high ambition Saga Prefecture Kōga - 吉賀 - old + holiday Okinawa Prefecture Higa - 比嘉 - compare + good
Traditional Japanese male names
In ancient times, it was not uncommon for Japanese boys to be given names in the order in which they were born:
- first son - Itirō 一郎 (one + son),
- the second - Jirō 二郎 - two + son,
- third - Saburō 三郎 - three + son and so on
Old Japanese male names, like those of samurai, are in demand even today. I easily found a site entirely dedicated to such names: http://naming.nobody.jp/category/wafu-otoko.html
Samurai names are distinguished by intricacy: they often have three hieroglyphs. They also have typical endings. Here are some examples:
- Genzo - 源蔵 - source of wealth,
- Naotaro - 直太郎 - correcting mistakes, courageous,
- Ryunosuke - 竜之介 - striving to be strong like a dragon and many others.
Here are some more ancient traditions regarding male names. One is to use the same last character of the name for all brothers. For example, if the eldest son's name is Yuma - 悠馬 - calm + horse, then his younger brothers can be called: Kazuma - 和馬 - hieroglyph for everything Japanese + horse, Sakuma - 咲馬 - bloom + horse, Ryoma - 亮馬 - bright + horse. This final hieroglyph, as it were, unites all the brothers.
The second tradition is to use in the name of the son hieroglyphs from the name of the parent, mainly the father, for continuity in the family. Here I will tell a true, but not quite accurately reflecting this situation, story from my life. When my husband and I were expecting our first child, we thought for a long time about what name to give him. Since the son was born in Japan, they decided to come up with a Japanese name for him. But the problem was that her husband had only one hieroglyph in his name: 学 - Manabu - to teach, to study. In combination with other hieroglyphs, it is not used as a name. I'm a foreigner. The Japanese came up with hieroglyphs for me: 織雅 - Origa - canvas + elegant. But since I do not have Japanese citizenship, these hieroglyphs are not in the documents.
However, this gave us the idea that the character for "elegant" 雅 would be good for a son's name. So he became Ryuga - 龍雅 - dragon + elegant. The second child was also a son. Beautiful name Kōga - 皇雅 - majestic + elegant was already occupied by our newly born nephew. Therefore, we gave the second son the name Taiga - 太雅 - courageous + elegant, following ancient tradition. In addition, the pronunciation of the name is close to the English tiger, that is, a tiger. It would be possible to include the hieroglyph "tiger" in the name, but it would already be too "brilliant name".
Nowadays, the above traditions are gradually being lost: the brothers are given completely different unrelated names. This approach is considered more modern.
Modern Japanese male names
Nowadays, it is considered modern and elegant to use foreign names. At the same time, not all parents have the courage to give their child a foreign name. Nevertheless, such a percentage exists. Most often, such names are given to children born in an international marriage. Globalization has also contributed to this process. Even a foreign name may be prompted by a desire to make a world-class professional out of a child or, depending on the city of the honeymoon of the spouses.
According to the rules, foreign words, including names, are written using the katakana alphabet. But along with this, there is also a way to select hieroglyphs by sound, as in Chinese. Perhaps this is a legacy of the Meiji Restoration, when the Japanese soaked up the new information pouring in from the West like sponges. Here is a small list of such borrowed Japanese-English names (see original). http://nisshin-geppo.com/international-name/).

Name, character, destiny...
When inventing a name for a child, the Japanese pay great attention to the selection of the correct hieroglyphs ... Through the meaning of these hieroglyphs, they try to give the child certain qualities in the future: kindness, courage, compassion, strength and much more. Also, various objects of nature are sometimes laid in the name: the sea, the sky, animals and plants. So, the sea conveys the breadth of the view, the sky speaks of serenity and endless life, animals endow their wearer with strength and endurance, and plants - with strength and health. Using the example of famous Japanese from different eras, let's trace the connection between their name, character and fate.
In my opinion, the most striking illustration of this principle is the life and fate of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉 - abundance + servant, excellent + ancient), one of Japan's unifiers and great military and political figures. Coming from a simple peasant family, throughout his life, along with the growth of his personal status, he changed his name, strengthening his position and exalting himself.
So, at birth, he was given the name Hiyoshimaru (日吉丸 - day, sun + old + circle, an indicator of a male name). And the poor peasants did not have surnames. As a child, Hideyoshi also had the nickname "monkey" - Saru 猿. When he grew up, he ran away from his home to be hired as a samurai. The reason was the mistreatment of his stepfather (Hideyoshi's mother remarried). Since then, he began to call himself Kinoshita Kōkichirō (木下 藤吉郎 - the surname literally means "under the tree", and the name is wisteria + old + indicator of a male name).
Ttoyotomi Hideyoshi
There are two versions of the origin of his surname. According to one version, Hideyoshi chose a surname by analogy with the surname of his new overlord Matsushita (松下 - literally "under the pine tree"). According to another, because he signed a contract with another famous unifier of Japan, Oda Nobunaga, while standing under a huge tree. One way or another, but he appropriated the name Hideyoshi to himself only when he significantly advanced through the ranks. The promotion of the son of an obscure peasant in the service of Oda Nobunaga became possible only thanks to the exceptional military talent of Hideyoshi.
The fact is that Nobunaga evaluated his subordinates only by their abilities, not paying attention to their origin. This fact played a major role in the career of the future "great minister". When Nobunaga handed over the lands to him, he again changed his surname from Kinoshita to Hasiba (羽柴 - wings + shrub) taking characters from the surnames of two people whom he respected: Niwa 丹羽 and Shibata 柴田. Continuing to unite the scattered Japanese principalities, Hideyoshi again changed his surname to Fujiwara (藤原 - wisteria + source). The reason was that the characters Taira 平 - calm, unchanging, Geng 原 - source and Hasi 橋 - bridge were used only in the names of royal vassals. That is, he wanted to become closer to the ruling elite.
When the unification of Japan was completed, Hideyoshi, who became regent-kampaku, received the royal surname Toyotomi from the Emperor himself. And although the Toyotomi family will be interrupted in just one generation, the story of Hideyoshi is a story of greatness and the name plays an important role here.

Translation of Russian names for boys into Japanese
Strictly speaking, there are no translations of Russian names into Japanese. Foreign names in Japan are written using the katakana alphabet. At the same time, the pronunciation noticeably changes due to the discrepancy between the letters of the Russian alphabet and the signs of katakana. For example, in the Japanese alphabet there are no letters "l", "k", "m" or "t", but there are, for example, "ru", "ku", "ma" or "to". That is, to put it simply, their syllables are letters. And not all syllables possible in Russian exist in Japanese. In order not to be unfounded, I will give examples of how Russian men would be called by their Japanese friends:
- Oleg will become "Ore: ggu"
- Alexander and Alexei will most likely be called simply "Arekusu"
- they will call the current president of Russia "Buradmir".
And who are "Pabe: ru", "Konsutanchi: n" and "Barary" you can guess for yourself.
Perhaps only Antons, Boriss, Deniss, Nikitas, Romans, Semyons, Sergeys, Yuris and Yans were lucky. The pronunciation of their names will undergo the least change in Japan. With some experience and skill, you can learn the "Japanese" pronunciation of Russian words. Nevertheless, at the request of the workers, I will give a table of translations of Russian male names into Japanese. This table is compiled on the principle of matching the meaning of names. Names from the same line have approximately the same meanings and completely different pronunciations. However, this hypothetical name matching was a good exercise in Japanese for me.

The modern Japanese name in its composition follows the tradition characteristic of Chinese, Korean and a number of other cultures. According to this tradition, a Japanese name consists of a family name or surname followed by a personal name. Names in Japan are most often written in kanji, which have different pronunciations in different cases.
All modern Japanese have a single surname and a single given name; they do not have a patronymic. The only exception is the imperial family, whose members have only a first name without a surname.
The Japanese pronounce and write their last name and first name in reverse order than is customary in the West. Last name comes first, then first name. However, in Western languages, Japanese names are written in the order familiar to Europeans - the surname follows the given name.
Often Japanese names are created independently from existing characters. As a result, this country has a large number of unique, non-recurring names. More traditional are surnames, which by their origin often belong to toponyms. Thus, there are more names in Japanese than surnames. The difference between female and male names is expressed in the use of component names characteristic of each species and their structure. It should be noted that reading Japanese names is perhaps the most difficult element in the Japanese language.
Transcription of Japanese names
Most often, in other languages that use the Latin or Cyrillic alphabet, Japanese names are written according to their transcription, as well as ordinary Japanese text, according to the rules of a particular system - for example, romaji, Polivanov's system. Not less common is the recording of Japanese names in non-standard transliteration, for example, “shi” is used instead of “si”, and “ji” instead of “ji”, which is explained by an attempt to transliterate from the Latin spelling of the name according to the romaji system. For example, the name and surname Honjou Shizuka by Russian-speaking readers in most cases is read as Honjo "at Shizu" ka, and not Honjou Shizuka.
In Latin and Cyrillic transcription, Japanese names most often go in the usual order for Europeans - first the first name, then the surname, i.e. Yamada Taro is usually written as Tarou Yamada. This order is found in news feeds, magazines and journalistic publications. Less commonly, the Japanese spelling order is used, but in this case, the surname in Latin spelling is written in full capital letters. The Japanese traditional order of indicating the surname and name can be found in professional linguistic publications.
Sometimes you can find the Latin spelling of the name using standard Latin abbreviations of the name to the initial. Vowels in Japanese have different lengths, which may be shown in transliteration in a spelling way (for example, Tarou Yamada), or may not be shown at all (for example, Taro Yamada). In Cyrillic writing, vowel length is usually not shown. The exception is educational publications, where the length of vowels is shown in brackets after writing in hieroglyphs and is indicated by a colon.
In Japanese, the relationship of interlocutors to each other is expressed by a suffix that is added after the name. So, san is typical for respectful neutral communication, kun is used in a conversation between two men, a classmate or work colleagues of equal rank, and tyan is an analogue of diminutive suffixes in Russian. The last suffix is usually used in close acquaintance, when referring to girls or children.
Most Japanese refer to each other by their last names. Only in the circle of friends and good acquaintances is it possible to address by name without a suffix, in other cases such an appeal will be considered familiar.
As mentioned above, the choice of a name in Japan is not limited by anything, names can be created from any hieroglyphs allowed for this. Of course, many Japanese use popular names that take into account certain traditions.
Female Japanese names
Most Japanese names are easy to read and write, but there is a trend among parents to choose characters with unusual spellings or readings. It is for this reason that a large number of interpretations of both the meaning and reading of Japanese names have appeared. This trend has been actively manifested since the end of the 20th century.
This phenomenon was especially active in women's names. It is for this reason that the popularity of a particular female name is not as stable as that of a male one. For the past 20 years, Misaki and Sakura have continued to stay in the top 10, but they have been squeezed out by names such as Hina, Aoi, Rin and Yui, who have not been in the top five most popular female names in the last 100 years.
Japanese girl names have a clear and understandable meaning and are easy to read. Most of female names is composed of a main component and an indicator, although there are names that do not have an indicative component. Depending on the value of the main component, it can be divided into several types.
- Many female names fall into the group of names with an abstract meaning. These names are based on components meaning "love", "calm", "tenderness" and others. Such names are given as a wish to possess certain qualities in the future (Kiyoko, Michi).
- The next group of names are names that have animal or plant components in their composition. In the past, girls were often given similar names. It was believed to promote health. However, today the fashion for names with animal components has passed. Only the component denoting "crane" is still popular. And the hieroglyphs associated with the world of flora do not go out of fashion to this day. Very often you can find names with components denoting "chrysanthemum" or "bamboo" (Sakura, Hana, Kiku).
- It is very rare to find names with numerals that take their roots in the ancient tradition of naming girls from noble families in order of birth (Nanami, Anko).
- You can also find names that have in their composition a component with the meaning of seasons, time of day, etc. (Yuki, Kasuma)
- Fashion for foreign names (Anna, Maria and others).
Beautiful Japanese names. The greatest changes have occurred among female names. New signs and hieroglyphs were added to record the name, the view on the general use of female names changed - more European-sounding names began to appear that resemble European names, although they are traditionally written in hieroglyphs and compiled according to traditional Japanese traditions. Examples would be the names - Naomi, Mika, Yuna.
At present, beautiful Japanese names contain less and less animal or plant components, and more and more abstract concepts and desirable meanings have begun to be used. good qualities, future success (Haruto, Hina, Yuna, Yamato, Sora, Yua). Although the name Sakura does not leave the top ten most popular female names, the female name Aoi (mallow) and the male name Ren (lotus) are firmly in the top five.
The previously common component of the name with the ending “-ko”, which literally means “child”, has become considered unfashionable, out of date, therefore it is used less and less, although it has not completely lost its position (Asako, Yumiko, Takako).
Male Japanese names
Male names are incredibly difficult to read. It is in them that non-standard readings of nanori and rare readings are used, sometimes some components change in a non-standard way. So, the names Kaoru, Shigekazu and Kungoro have the same hieroglyph in their composition, but in each individual name it is read differently. Also, the same component of yoshi names, which is very common in Japan, can be written with 104 different characters or their combinations. It happens that only its bearer can read the name correctly.
Often one-component names come from verbs or adjectives. For example, Kaoru comes from the verb “to smell sweet”, and Hiroshi comes from the adjective “wide”. Male names that include two hieroglyphs use the hieroglyph denoting the male name as the second hieroglyph, showing also the way the name is read. Three-component names have a similar two-component index (Katsumi, Macao, Naoki, Sora).
Time does not stand still, and modern trends have made their own adjustments. Now, among the male names, traditional ones continue to prevail, but now they have various options reading. Popular male names in 2005 were such names as Sho, Shota, Hikaru, Tsubasa, Yamato, Takumi and various variations of the name Hiroto.
The traditional male name Hiroto now has alternative readings and "romanized" transcriptions. In the Russian version of pronunciation and recording, these are as if completely different and not at all close, not similar names, because the whole thing is in writing the hieroglyph and voicing it. Modern twins for the name Hiroto - Haruto, Yamato, Daito, Taiga, Sora, Taito, Masato, all of them are used in modern times along with their progenitor.
Most often, male names are divided into the following groups, but these are only the most basic ones.
- The name contains the "-ro" component, which is interpreted as "son" (Ichiro, Shiro, Saburo). But also this part of the name is assigned the meaning of “light”, “clear”, which can add various shades to the meaning of the name.
- The "-to" component is considered masculine and is very rare among female names. Means either "person" (Yuto, Kaito), or "fly", "soar" (Hiroto).
- The "-dai" component means "big, great". Used only in male names (Dai, Daichi, Daisuke, Daiki).
- Desirable names are popular, in which the boy is credited with masculine traits, future successes and wonderful life(Takeshi, Niboru, Ken).
- Traditional Japanese names are related to natural phenomena, seasons, natural materials (Kita, Montaro, Kohaku, Akiyama).

Personal names in Japan are the most difficult direction in the Japanese language. Women's names are no exception here. At first, reading the translations, it may seem that there is nothing complicated. In Japanese, the surname is pronounced first, and then the given name. In Russian, as in many Western languages, the first name is pronounced first, and only then the surname. But believe me - this is the smallest difficulty that you encounter when working with Japanese names. Although even such a trifle sometimes confuses people who are poorly familiar with Japanese culture.
In Japanese culture, and in particular personal names, over the past hundred years there have been dramatic changes. This also affected the spelling of names and their meaning. New hieroglyphs and signs for writing names were allowed. The last major change dates back to the nineties of the twentieth century. Then the Parliament of Japan amended the list of permitted characters for writing names. In principle, these signs are amended approximately every five years. But as they say, only a dead language does not change.
The change in attitude towards traditions is especially evident in the modern names of the Japanese. If earlier Japan was extremely traditional society, but now with each generation it is fading away. Names from Japanese comics - manga are very popular among modern Japanese names for girls. Manga is one of the Japanese cultural phenomena, comics covering a wide variety of topics for both children and adults. Manga, in fact, is not the usual children's comic, but rather a serious literary and visual work. This cultural phenomenon is known and is already popular all over the world.
Another difficulty is the transliteration of Japanese names for girls. Transliteration of any language causes a lot of controversy, to say nothing of the language of the Land of the Rising Sun. Most often in Russian practice, the Polivanov system is used. It was introduced in the thirties of the twentieth century and since then has been an unofficially approved transliteration system from Japanese to Cyrillic.

Do not want to make a mistake with the choice of name?
Divided opinions on names
There are no special options, nothing catches, there is no click that this is it
So that the name is not very common
In terms of sound and character, the child was not mumbling
Good! Let's choose the right name for the baby
A correctly chosen name has a strong positive influence on the character, aura and fate of a person. It actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and state, improves health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how do you pick the perfect name?
Despite the fact that there are poetic interpretations in culture of what female names mean, in reality, the influence of the name on each girl is individual.
Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, making it difficult for the baby to form. Attempts to use astrology are no longer applicable, astrology and numerology of choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate through the ages.
Christmas calendars, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.
Lists of popular, happy, beautiful, melodic female names - in fact, generalizations, and completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, soul of the child.
Beautiful and modern Japanese names should first of all suit the child, and not the relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.
A variety of statistical characteristics are positive features of the name, negative traits name, the choice of a profession by name, the impact of a name on business, the impact of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of the character, energy structure, tasks for life and kind of a particular child.
Name compatibility topic(and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns inside out on the interactions of different people the internal mechanisms of the influence of a name on the state of its carrier. And it cancels the entire psyche, the unconscious, energy and behavior of people. It reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.
Meaning of the name does not give a full effect, this is only a small part of the effect. For example Ai (love) does not mean that the girl will be happy in family life, and the bearers of other names are unhappy. The name can weaken her health, block her heart center and she will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, it will help another girl to solve problems for love or family, it will greatly facilitate life and achieve goals. The third girl may not bring any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics. And the same name. But fates are different.
The most popular Japanese names for girls are also misleading. 95% of girls are called names that do not make life easier. You can only focus on the innate character of the child, spiritual vision and the wisdom of a specialist. And experience, experience and once again the experience of understanding what is happening.
The secret of the female name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration is revealed by a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of a name. And if this name destroys the child, then there would be no beautiful, melodious with a patronymic, astrological, blissful, it would still be harm, destruction of character, complication of life and aggravation of fate.
Below is a list of Japanese names. Try to choose a few, the most suitable in your opinion for the child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the impact of the name on fate, .
