Names and Surnames of Japanese Emperors

During the life of the emperor, it is also not customary to address him by name, since in general it is not polite to address him by name, much less to the emperor, and instead various titles are used. For example, as a child, Akihito had a title - Tsugu-no-miya (Prince Tsugu). Such titles are mainly used while a person is an heir or has not received a special name.

When a member of the imperial family became an ordinary person, the emperor gave him a surname. In the Middle Ages, a very common surname was Minamoto. And vice versa, if an outsider joins the imperial family, then his surname is lost. For example, Empress Michiko, before she married Emperor Akihito, was called Michiko Shoda.

Japanese female names

Women's names differ from men's names in that they have a clearer translation and are quite easy to read. This is due to the fact that the most common reading for them is kun, and also their structure looks much simpler. However, exceptions to the rules are very rare. Also, only in female names can one find borrowings from other languages, with the exception of Chinese.

Beautiful Japanese female names have undergone the most significant changes over the past 100 years. These changes affected not only their meanings, but also dramatic changes occurred in the spelling of names. It was allowed to use new signs and hieroglyphs. Modern Japanese female names and their meanings clearly demonstrate the changing attitude of the Japanese towards their traditions. For example, recently in Japan they have increasingly begun to give children the names of anime or manga characters. However, this phenomenon is already spreading beyond the country and spreading throughout the world.

Japanese girl names are divided into several groups depending on the component they contain. This may be a component that has an abstract meaning, that is, showing the desire to possess some qualities in a future life.

Japanese samurai names in English

Nominal suffixes -chan (chan) - A close analogue of the “diminutive” suffixes of the Russian language. Usually used in relation to a junior or inferior in a social sense, with whom a close relationship develops. There is an element of baby talk in the use of this suffix. Typically used when adults address children, boys address their girlfriends, girlfriends address each other, and small children address each other. The use of this suffix in relation to people who are not very close, equal in status to the speaker, is impolite. Let's say, if a guy addresses a girl his age in this way, with whom he is not “having an affair,” then he is being inappropriate. A girl who addresses a guy of her own age in this way, with whom she is not “having an affair,” is essentially being rude.

-kun (kun) - An analogue of the address “comrade”. Most often used between men or in relation to guys. Indicates, rather, a certain “officiality” of, nevertheless, close relationships. Let's say, between classmates, partners or friends. It can also be used in relation to juniors or inferior in a social sense, when there is no need to focus on this circumstance.

-yan (yan) - Kansai analogue of “-chan” and “-kun”.

-pyon (pyon) - Children's version of "-kun".

-tti (cchi) - Children's version of "-chan" (cf. "Tamagotti").
