JAPANESE NAMES // 5 FUN FACTS
- In Japan, the family name comes before the given name, which is the opposite of Western naming conventions. For example, in the name “Yamada Taro,” “Yamada” is the family name and “Taro” is the given name.
- Japanese names are often written using kanji characters, which can have multiple readings and meanings. Parents often choose kanji characters for their children’s names carefully, considering their meanings and how they sound.
- Many Japanese names have specific meanings, often related to nature, virtues, or desired qualities. For example, the name “Haru” (春) means “spring,” while “Hikari” (光) means “light.”
- Honorific titles like “san,” “sama,” and “kun” are commonly added to people’s names to show respect and familiarity. For example, “Tanaka-san” is a polite way to address someone named Tanaka.
- Since 1947, spouses can decide which spouse’s family name they want to adopt. It is not automatically the husband’s last name, like in many other cultures.
