 Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2003 4:30 pm Post subject: My name in Japanese |
  |
|
So I think it'd be cool to adopt a real Japanese name(using Kanji).
I know how to write my name in Katakana, but I don't really want that.
My first name can mean either "powerful ruler" or "brave one".
My last name means "dove".
Can someone sugggest a name given those meanings?

I'm not sure how much I can help you, but I'll try until someone else can take over 
Hato - 鳩 (dove) *This also means pigeon, LOL.
Um, as for a first name.....I'm not good at this. The only thing I could think of was "bravery" which is 勇気 (yuuki). I have no idea if those characters are commonly used for the name but those characters reflect that meaning. I don't know what other possibilities there are, as I'm not fluent in Japanese. Also if they are used for the name Yuuki, I don't know if either is strictly male or female, or if there is no distinction. I've heard Yuki or Yuuki as names for guys, but they could have been nicknames and/or different kanji. Good luck  |

Hato Isamu could be Japanese version for your name.
Hato means a dove and Isamu is a common Japanese male name meaning bravery.
But if you want more Japanese family name, I will suggest Hatoyama instead of Hato.
Hatoyama means a mountain of dove and it's kinda common Japanese family name. Just Hato will be a little akward. |

Naturalization foreigners use the character of a similar sound as a Japanese name in many cases .
So, What about 出栄吾.
This is pronounced as 'de-ei-go'.
出: appear,come,forth;leave,depart
栄: prosper,flourish,thrive;flower;shine;look attractive
吾: 吾 is the character well attached to the last of a boy's name.
The last of SMAP's Shingo Katori's(香取慎吾) first name is also 吾.
GoodNight  |

Hey arnel. That's a cool av you have there. 
Strange question: I wonder how they would translate stormhammer?
-Stormhammer- |
i'm not literate in nippongo so should check others what would be the kanji name for storm and hammer. That is if u want it in kanji. Usually, foreign words are written using katakana. Check the 'typing in japanese' thread for the typing in katakana link.

Well, google says ur name means rule or power. So i guess u need to know what's the kanji for that which i dont know.  In katakana, ur name would be veruda. Anyway, as i mentioned to stormhammer, check the typing in japanese thread for the links f u want it in katakana.

Takase is a good link to find your Japanese name for common English names like John and Jason. |

tsukimoto is his surname.. like the other character hoshino.. one being the moon (=tsuki) while the other is the star (=hoshi).. what i can tell you is that tsuki means moon and moto.. well, i don't know what moto means.. it's only used in people's surnames and place names i guess..
by the way, thanks arnel for finding out my name.. rule or power..? wow.. that's difficult.. |

Congratulations  It does'nt mean Gopher.
It is written with two Kanji characters - Tuki and Moto
Tuki means the Moon. Moto means the biginig; the origin; the source.
So,
The Origin; The Biginig; The Source of the Moon.
Of course, "Moto" has a meaning called 'a book', too. However, the meaning does not suit a name. |
