Names in Japanese - A
This is a list of over NINE THOUSAND names and their
meanings meticulously translated to Japanese. The
name translations are a phonetic translation to
katakana - this is the
correct way names are translated to Japanese and is the way non-Japanese
names appear in dictionaries, newspapers, and encyclopedias.
We also include literal translation to
kanji which translates the original meaning of the name. The literal translation works especially
well for names like
Faith and
Joy
where the name has a clear meaning.
For more information on how names can be translated to Japanese read Eri
Takase's article How to Write Names in
Japanese which first appeared in her monthly column in Martial Arts Insiders
Magazine.
Note that a name can have several pronunciation and may even
have different meanings depending on the derivation. A common
example is the name "Jan"
which can be pronounced
JAN
or
YAHN. Because of space limitations we do not show the pronunciation in this
list, however, if you click on the name you can find this along with other
important details about the name. We give you all the information so you can
be absolutely sure our translations are correct.
