Personal names in Japan are the most difficult area 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 then the surname. But believe me, this is the smallest difficulty you encounter when working with Japanese names. Although even such a small thing sometimes confuses people less familiar with Japanese culture.
Japanese culture, and personal names in particular, have undergone dramatic changes over the past hundred years. 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 Japanese Parliament amended the list of permitted characters for writing names. In principle, these signs are updated with amendments approximately every five years. But as they say, only a dead language does not change.
Particularly affects modern names the Japanese have changed their attitude towards traditions. If earlier Japan was extremely traditional society, then now with each generation this is fading away. Very popular among modern Japanese names for girls are names from Japanese comics- manga. Manga is one of the Japanese cultural phenomena, comics covering a variety of topics for both children and adults. Manga, in essence, is not the usual children's comics, but a rather serious literary and visual work. This cultural phenomenon is already known and popular all over the world.
Another difficulty is the transliteration of Japanese names for girls. Transliteration of any language causes a lot of controversy, let alone the language of the land of the rising sun. The Polivanov system is most often used in Russian practice. It was introduced in the thirties of the twentieth century and since then has been a tacitly approved system of transliteration from Japanese to Cyrillic.

Origins of the formation of Japanese names
In Japan, names are one of the most difficult areas of the Japanese language. Women's names are no exception. The difficulty lies in the fact that Japanese culture, like any other, undergoes changes over time, which also affect names along with their meaning. This periodically causes double interpretation of a given name. New signs are constantly being added that can be used to record names, and it takes a lot of time to figure out what’s what.In Japan, the choice of name for a child is not limited in any way. It is influenced by traditions rooted in society and trends in modern word formation. You can come up with a new Japanese female name, or you can choose from existing ones. The limitation of choice can only be a lack of imagination. Japanese girl names usually consist of components, which can be combined with others and get a completely different meaning. Usually names are written using Japanese characters. But the problem is that these names can be pronounced different ways. Therefore, their reading depends on who reads in what way.
The meaning of Japanese names for women
Almost all Japanese names for girls are easy to read and have a specific meaning. Understanding their meaning is also not difficult. Parents in Japan, unlike parents in any other country in the world, choose a name for their child in such a way that it is very harmoniously combined with his surname. This is of paramount importance to the Japanese.There are specialists at the service of especially picky parents who can come up with a unique name that has not yet existed. In fact, despite the extensive list of Japanese female names, they are almost never repeated. This is due to the fact that a prefix is added to the name itself, indicating the genus to which the bearer of the name belongs.
The most beautiful Japanese female names contain the designation of some beautiful natural phenomenon, gemstone or plant (usually a flower). Also, Japanese names of girls and their meaning may contain a wish to be beautiful, kind and other positive qualities, or simply happiness and good luck.
Beautiful Japanese names for girls, worn by heroines of popular animated series, historical chronicles, popular artists and politicians, are also becoming fashionable. Japanese female names on English language are pronounced and written similarly to their pronunciation in Japanese, for example: Asuka, Chizu, Chizu, Etsuko.

Japanese culture is unique, fundamentally different from the rest of the world. In this article we will provide lists of the most beautiful Japanese names and their meanings. Let's consider both male and female names. Also, consider the features and tips when choosing these names.
Today, Japanese names are at the peak of popularity in Russia, this is primarily due to the fashion for Japanese culture - cinema, music, animation and literature.

Even specialists who have a perfect knowledge of the Japanese language can find it extremely difficult to correctly read a particular woman’s name. The desire to distinguish a child from a group with the help of a name and make him unique leads to the fact that parents begin to invent their own hieroglyphs, or write down and read traditional ones in an unusual way.
Russian ranking of girl names from the country Rising Sun as follows. The top five, which have held steady over the past twenty years, have changed dramatically. Of the “old-timers,” only Sakura And Misaki, from the completely new ones, who have never risen above tenth place, and today claim championship, the following are called - Yui, Aoi, Rin And Hina.
Despite the unusual pronunciation for the European ear, many Japanese names for girls have a completely understandable meaning. Some of them correspond to ethical categories beloved in many countries. Some names are translated as “love”, “tenderness” (Michi, Kiyoko). By calling their daughters this way, parents try to “attract” these qualities, such a unique message into the future.
For a long time, many names for girls were associated with the names of plants or animals. The most popular name was and is Sakura (translated as “blooming Japanese cherry tree”). Also quite often there are names that can be translated as “chrysanthemum” (one of the flowers beloved by the Japanese), Aoi (“mallow”).
Hieroglyphs associated with the world of fauna fade into the background; most likely, this process is associated with the development of a high-tech society; interest remains only in the name meaning “crane”. The tradition of calling girls by numerals, previously popular in large rich families, is becoming a thing of the past.
A little earlier, there was a surge of interest in names ending in “ko” - Yumiko, Asako, which was associated with unusual animated films in the anime genre. In fact, the ending of the name “ko” means child; in relation to any name, it indicates that its bearer has not yet grown up, has not become an adult.
Japanese male names
Male Japanese onomastics is even more complex than female one; non-standard pronunciations and the use of various combinations of hieroglyphs are more common here. The most surprising thing is that the same graphic sign, used in different combinations, is read differently. We present the most readable names for Russians:

The simplest names for boys consist of a single hieroglyph; they are formed from verbs and adjectives and can indicate certain actions or characteristics (“tall,” “wide,” “fragrant”).
Two- and three-component names are more complex. In them, the first part may indicate gender (“man”, “boy”), role significance (“son”). The second part is characteristics associated with position or profession (“prince”, “assistant”).
We can give some recommendations to parents who dream of naming their child a Japanese name. The first advice is to think everything over carefully; mothers and fathers should think not only about themselves, satisfying their own interests, but also about the child too. He will have to grow, study and be brought up in Russian society, where you will not always find a kind-hearted attitude towards a person with the usual European name, not to mention the very exotic, Japanese one.
Tip two - when choosing a Japanese name for your son, you should definitely check for compatibility with the surname and patronymic. How will the life of the heir turn out? big question, he may have to work in a Russian team. In this case, addressing an adult will be appropriate - by first name and patronymic. Therefore, you need to try to choose a euphonious name that can be combined with both the patronymic and surname.
Just imagine how difficult it will be for a child to live with full name like: “Ivanov Yasuhiro Fedorovich.”
The third tip is to check from the list what this or that name means, whether it has a negative, negative connotation, or whether the name reads positively in all respects.
A brief excursion into the theory of creating Japanese names
Japanese names always consist of several parts - this is, in fact, the name and the family name ( or surname, if followed European rules ). But they are always written in a certain order: first the last name, then the first name. In this they differ from the inhabitants of Western Europe, where they write their first name, then their last name, and of Eastern Europe, where allowed different variants writing.According to Japanese beliefs, a name should be rare, and therefore you are allowed to come up with names for your own children yourself. There are signs with which names are written; by changing the sequence of these signs or their spelling, the Japanese create new names, adding to their already huge database.
The next rule does not apply to the field of education, but to addressing a person by name. The rule states that with the help of suffixes that are attached to a person’s name, you can express your attitude towards him. For example, the suffix “san” is a symbol of a neutral or respectful attitude towards the interlocutor. The suffix “chan” is similar to diminutives in Russian. This name prefix can be used when communicating with children, close relatives or friends.
Do you know Japanese names and their meanings? What names are popular in Japan today? We will answer these and other questions in the article. Japanese names these days typically include a family name (surname) followed by a personal name. This practice is common in East and Southeast Asia, including Korean, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese and other cultures.

Beautiful names for Japanese men are usually divided into two types: single-component and multi-component. Names with one element include a verb, as a result of which the name has an ending - y, for example, Mamoru (protector). Or an adjective ending in -si, for example, Hiroshi (spacious).
Sometimes you can find names with one sign that have an onic reading. Names made up of a pair of hieroglyphs usually indicate masculinity. For example: son, warrior, man, husband, courageous and so on. Each of these indicators has its own ending.
The structure of such names usually contains a hieroglyph, which reveals how the name should be read. There are also names consisting of three elements. In this episode the indicator will be two-link. For example, “eldest son”, “ younger son" and so on. It is rare to meet a person with a three-part name and a one-component indicator. It is rare to find names that contain four components written in Japanese alphabet rather than in hieroglyphs.
