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 own hieroglyphs, or it is unusual to write down and read traditional ones.

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, it 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 your surname and patronymic. How will the life of the heir turn out? big question he may have to work in 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 with a 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 you follow European rules). But they are always written in a certain order: first the last name, then the first name. This is how they differ from the inhabitants Western Europe, where they write the first name, then the 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.

Japanese female names

Even in ancient times, the meanings of Japanese female names were determined. All female Japanese names, in most cases, are easy to read in kun, and they also sound clearly in pronunciation and have a clear meaning. Girls of noble blood acquired the “hime” component in their name, in other words “princess”.

But there were a huge number of aristocratic girls, but there were very few real princesses. Therefore, the word “hime” became a little larger and also meant the presence of blue blood. It also happened that those with blue blood became a nun, so the particle “in” was automatically added to her name. This also applied to the male half of humanity.
But the “gozen” component was added to those women who were wives of samurai. But in everyday life a name with such a component was practically never used. Most often, a samurai's wife was called by his rank or surname.
Most Japanese girl names end in "mi" - beauty or "ko" - child. For example, Minami, Yoshiko, Yuko, Yoko, Fujiko. But today modern Japanese women soft and feminine words that are present in the name do not suit me. And this is not at all surprising, because technological progress requires toughness from women, which is not present in soft, feminine and playful names. That is why women, especially if they are businesswomen, remove these parts so that their name sounds more concise. Thus, they create an image of modernity for themselves.

Japanese female names are divided into several types, it all depends on which component name. There are names that denote abstract meaning. In Japanese female names, the components most often used are “ma” - “truth”, “ai” - “love”, “yu” - “affection, sentimentality”, “ti” - “smart”, “an” - “order, serenity” ", "mi" - "magnificence". Owners of such names want to have such qualities in the future; this can be achieved thanks to precisely such components. Even less common Japanese female names with plant or animal components. In the past, it was very common for girls to be given a name with an animal component associated with a four-legged animal, for example, fawn, tiger, lion. Such names brought health to its owner. Today, in the modern world, they are not called by such names, because they have already gone out of fashion, which is why they began to use other names. The exception is the “crane” component. Today, names with plant meanings are popular in Japan. For example, hana – “flower”, take – “bamboo”, ine – “risk”, yanagi – “willow”, kiku – “chrysanthemum”, momo – “peach”, etc.

Japanese female names have quite a lot various sources origin. Some of the names were borrowed from other countries. This is why you can meet women in Japan who have foreign names. For example: Scandinavian (Bianca, Donna, Mia...), Aramaic (Bartholomew, Martha, Thomas...), Muslim (Amber, Ali, Mohammed...), French (Alison, Bruce, Olivia...), English (Brian, Dylan, Kermit, Tara...), Persian (Esther, Jasmine, Roxanne...), Latin (Cordelia, Diana, Patrick, Victoria...), Greek (Angel, Christopher, George, Selina...), Italian (Brenda, Dustin, Eric...), Hebrew ( Adam, David, John, Michelle...), German (Charles, Leonard, Richard, William...), Spanish (Dolores, Linda, Rio...), Slavic (Boris, Nadia, Vera...), Indian (Beryl, Opal, Uma... ) and others.

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character, aura and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?

Despite the fact that in culture there are poetic interpretations of what women's names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each girl is individual.

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Attempts to use astrology are no longer applicable; astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.

Christmastide calendars, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real assistance in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

Popular lists, happy, beautiful, melodious female names are essentially generalizations, and completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, and soul of the child.

Beautiful and modern Japanese names should primarily suit the child, and not relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.

Various characteristics according to statistics - positive traits of a name, negative traits of a name, choice of profession based on a name, the influence of a name on business, the influence 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, life goals and gender of a particular child.

Name Compatibility Topic(and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns the interaction inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

Meaning of the name does not give full impact, it is only a small part of the impact. For example, Ai (love) does not mean that the girl will be happy in family life, and 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, another girl will be helped to solve problems related to love or family, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third girl may not have 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 their fate easier. You can only focus on the child’s innate character, spiritual vision and the wisdom of a specialist. And experience, experience and once again the experience of understanding what is happening.

The secret of a woman's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of a name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.

Below is a list of Japanese names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate, .

Japanese names consist of a surname followed by a given name, and as a rule, Japanese names are written in kanji. However, parents may also sometimes use the Japanese syllabaries hiragana and katakana to write their children's names. Moreover, in 1985, the list of officially permitted characters for recording Japanese names was expanded and now you can use Latin characters (Romanji), hentaiganu, man'yogana (syllabary alphabet), as well as special characters and symbols like * % $ ^ and the like. But in practice, hieroglyphs are almost always used to write Japanese names.

In the past, people in Japan were the property of the emperor, and their surname reflected their role in government. For example, Otomo (大友 "great friend, comrade"). Names were also given to let people know that the person had made some great achievement, contribution, etc.

Before the Meiji Restoration, ordinary people did not have surnames, but, if necessary, used the name of the place of birth. For example, a person named Ichiro: could introduce himself as: "Ichiro: from Asahi Village, Musashi Province. Merchants used the names of their shops or brands. For example, Denbei, the owner of Sagamiya, could introduce himself as "Sagamiya Denbei." Peasants could name themselves after their father (for example, Isuke, whose father was called Genbei, could say: “Iseke, son of Genbei”).

After the Meiji Restoration, the government ordered all commoners to create a surname for themselves as part of a plan to modernize and westernize. Some people chose historical names, others simply made them up, for example by fortune telling, or turned to priests to choose a surname. This explains why there are a lot of different surnames, both in pronunciation and spelling and creates difficulties in reading.

Japanese surnames are extremely diverse, with an estimated over 100,000 different surnames. Typical, most common Japanese surnames include Sato (佐藤), Suzuki (铃木), and Takahashi (高桥).

However Japanese surnames They are distributed differently in different regions of Japan. For example, the surnames Chinen (知念), Higa (比嘉), and Shimabukuro (岛袋) are common in Okinawa, but not in other parts of Japan. This is due mainly to the differences between the language and culture of the people of Yamato and Okinawa.

Many Japanese surnames come from characteristic features rural landscape, for example: Ishikawa (石川) means “stone river”, Yamamoto (山本) - “base of the mountain”, Inoue (井上) - “above the well”.

In general, surnames usually have some patterns and their reading does not cause any particular difficulties, but Japanese names are very diverse both in pronunciation and spelling.

Although many typical Japanese names can be easily written and read, many parents choose names with unusual characters or pronunciation. Such names do not have a clear reading or spelling.

The tendency to give such names has especially appeared since 1990. For example, the popular name for boys 大翔 is traditionally read as Hiroto, but alternative readings of this name have appeared: Haruto, Yamato, Daito, Taiga, Sora, Taito, Masato, and all of them have come into use.

Male names often end in –ro: (郎 “son”, but also 朗 “clear, bright”, e.g. Ichiro), –ta (太 “big, thick”, e.g. Kenta), contain ichi (一 “first [ son]), ji (二 - second [son]", or 次 "next", for example "Jiro"), or dai (大 "great, great", for example "Daiichi").

In addition, in male names with two hieroglyphs, hieroglyphs-indicators are often used male name: 夫 (o) - "husband", 男 (o) - "man", 雄 (o) - "hero", 朗 (ro:) - "cheerful", 樹 (ki) - "tree", 助 (suke ) "assistant" and many others.

Japanese female names

Most Japanese female names have an abstract meaning. Usually in such names such characters are used as 美 mi “beauty”, 愛 ai “love”, 安 an “calmness”, 知 ti “mind”, 優 yu: “tenderness”, 真 ma “truth” and others. As a rule, names with similar hieroglyphs are given to girls as a wish to have these qualities in the future.

There is another type of female names - names with hieroglyphs of animals or plants. Names with the animal characters 虎　"tiger" or 鹿 "deer" were considered to promote health, but such names are now considered old-fashioned and are rarely used, with the exception of the character 鶴 "crane". Names containing hieroglyphs associated with the plant world are still often used, for example 花 hana - “flower”, 稲 ine - “rice”, 菊 kiku - “chrysanthemum”, 竹 take - “bamboo”, 桃 momo - “peach” ", 柳 yanagi - "willow", and others.

There are also names with numerals, but they are very few in number and are quite rare. Such names most likely come from the old tradition of naming girls of noble families by birth order. Currently, the following characters are usually used among numerals: 千 ti "thousand", 三 mi "three", 五 go "five" and 七 nana "seven".

Quite often there are names with meanings of seasons, natural phenomena, time of day and many others. For example: 雪 yuki "snow", 夏 natsu "summer", 朝 asa "morning", 雲 kumo "cloud".

It happens that instead of hieroglyphs, syllabic alphabet are used. Moreover, the recording of such a name is constant, unlike words that can be written in different ways (in alphabet, in hieroglyphs, mixed). For example, if a woman’s name is written in hiragana, then it will always be written that way, although in terms of its meaning it can be written as a hieroglyph.

By the way, it’s very fashionable and exotic to use instead of classic female names foreign names: あんな Anna, まりあ Maria, えみり Emiri, れな Rena, りな Rina and others.

Indicator of Japanese female names.

A typical Japanese female name ends in the character -子 (child) – ko. (Maiko, Haruko, Hanako, Takako, Yoshiko, Asako, Naoko, Yumiko, etc.). And currently, about a quarter of Japanese female names end in -ko. Until 1868, this name was used only by members of the imperial family, but after the revolution this name became very popular, especially in the mid-20th century. However, after 2006, this indicator of a female name ceased to be fashionable due to the emergence of a new fashion for names, and many girls eliminated it from their names and began to call them simply Yumi, Hana, Haru, etc.

The second most frequently used character is 美 mi "beauty" (up to 12%), unlike many other indicators of the gender of a name, it can appear anywhere in the name (Fumiko, Mie, Kazumi, Miyuki).

Also, about 5% of Japanese female names contain the component 江 e "bay" (Mizue, 廣江 Hiroe).

Many other characters are used to indicate that this is a female name, each of which is found in less than 4% of female names: 代 yo "era", 香 ka "smell", 花 ka "flower", 里 ri "measure of length ri" ( often used phonetically), 奈 na is used phonetically, 織 ori "cloth" and others.

However, there are female names consisting of several hieroglyphs that do not have indicators that this is a female name. Examples: 皐月 Satsuki, 小巻 Komaki.
