Names in Japanese - T

This list of names in Japanese represents over a decade of translation work by our team of native Japanese and English speaking staff.

With the information available today one can expect accurate name translations that can be readily verified. If you think about it, the Japanese media continuously translates the names of movie stars, celebrities, sports stars, and people in the news. So in composing this list we have used a wide variety of reference material as well as leading Japanese movie databases and Japanese entertainment magazines to provide the most accurate information available in a convenient and easy to use form.


Names are pronounced differently depending on where you are from and this may affect the translation. And so we have taken great care to include the original pronunciation so it is clear which we are translating. This is something other sites don't have and why we are one of the most trusted name translation sites on the Internet. If you need more information about a name simply click on the name below.

United States Census - 1990 - The top 2400 male and female names from this US government publication are covered in Catalog of Names in Japanese.

BabyNamer - Produced by Oxygen Media this is, in our opinion, the best source for the meaning of names.

The Etymology of First Names - This site is our other choice for researching the meaning of given names. The discussion board on specific names is normally excellent.

Jeffrey's Japanese<->English Dictionary Server - An on-line dictionary that does not require Japanese fonts. This dictionary is terse so it is easy to misinterpret. Also the pronunciation used for names is not given so one is never sure if the name translations correspond to the pronunciation you have in mind. In our Catalog of Names in Japanese we give the pronunciation of the name which is important.

Goo Jiten - A good on-line English/Japanese dictionary. Japanese fonts are required.
