Tips for search

Here are some tips for better results experience. 🙂

Free word searches are available in Japanese (hiragana, katakana, and kanji) and English alphabet.
Please note that searches using special characters, non-English characters, and English words are not possible.

Multiple String Search

If multiple character strings are entered with single-byte spaces, an AND search will be performed.

If you check the “Exact Match” box, the search will be performed as an exact match.

Unfamiliar initial letters

The initial letters L, Q, V, and X are not familiar with Japanese names. You may find the name by replacing them as follows.

L → R
Q → K
V → B
X → K

Long vowels as they are

On this site, Long vowels are registered as they are. Many Japanese names use the “u” and “o” long sounds. In the Japanese sense of the language, “Ichiro” and “Ichirou” are distinctly different words.

e.g.

Ichirou Click to speech いちろう

Taro Click to speech たろ
https://japanese-names.info/first-name/taro/

Tarou Click to speech たろう
https://japanese-names.info/first-name/tarou/

If the name has a Long vowel, you may get better results if you convert it as follows.

a → aa
i → ii
u → uu
e → ee, ei
o → oo, ou

e.g.
Shohei Click to speech しょへい → Shouhei Click to speech しょうへい
Yoko Click to speech よこ → Youko Click to speech ようこ

This site endorses Glomaji(Global Romaji), which is faithful to the Japanese pronunciation.
Glomaji is a concept developed by Hiragana Times. Glomaji is the form of romaji used when inputting Japanese into a PC with the English alphabet.

Love for Ukraine

Supporting Ukraine Kids together

As the situation in Ukraine escalates, I feel with emotions too overwhelming to name. There are many children in Ukraine whose homes have been destroyed and without food and water. Gentle support is needed.

Please donate to Save the Children.

According to Google Analytics, Japanese Names.info has been visited from 217 countries and regions for 30 days. Of course, Ukrainian and Russian users are also included.

For the kind Russian people

Apparently this isn't broadcast on Russian TV, but what the Russian government is doing isn't actually a peacekeeping operation, but is more correctly described as an invasion and looting of your relative's country, Ukraine.

The only power that can change the reality in Ukraine is for the Russian people to speak out. Please touch the world media outside of Russia to see how your government is causing the tragic situation. Thank you for a peaceful world!
