Name meanings? -
09-21-2011, 06:11 PM
Ah, I'm looking for someone who can tell me the meanings of these name(s) and surname(s)? Sorry I do not know the Kanji for any one them so they're all in Romaji... But like godwine pointed out -which I totally forgot- there are multiple Kanji for each, and preferably I'd like to see as many as anyone can name. I like options and it would mean a lot to me.
Kengamine Tsunenaga Kichida Samurakami Takeuchi Ekiguchi Tsuji Tsujimoto Tsujimura Tsuchie Karako Koshio Tsushima EDIT: two more I'd like to know more about... Shiro and Nagi. Thanks for any help~ I'll be posting more names unless someone can point me to a website that would help...?

Some of them, sure I can try, but not all of them. Actually I forgot to mention that I wanted options in the Kanji. But if that's to much I can do the ones I know...

I found Ekigushi online...I've never heard of a surname like that. And your right, it is suppose to be Tsushima, sorry! Do you think you could do Shiro and Nagi? I looked up Shiro and every site says it different but the ones I see alot is "castle", "white", and "Fourth Born Son". Plus I'm confused, it says Shiro is a boys name but I've met a lot of girls with that name...

sorry
Unusual pronunciation........ Samurakami 村上 (usually: murakami/ others: mukami,muragami,muraoka,muraue) Kichida 吉田 (usually yoshida/ others: yojida,kitta) The origin is a lot and is troublesome. As for the family name that uses the same Chinese character, the origin might be different because of the pedigree. Cryptanalysis is necessary for you. set a goal：English at the same level as Johan Cruyff

The boys name you're talking about must be 'Shiroo' or 'Shirou' (=史郎、史朗、司郎、司朗、志郎、志朗、四郎、四朗 etc.) 史=history, 司＝to administer, 志=will, wish 四=4(four). 郎＝a boy, a man. 朗=cheerful, bright, merry. 'Nagi' may be 名城(名＝name, famous. 城=castle) or 名木(木=tree, wood), I guess...

My impression was that a number of family names were places where people came from, similar to how hundreds of years ago what we take to be surnames were really just saying 'Person of So-and-so city' like how 'Leonardo da Vinci' (probably misspelled a bit) is just 'Leonardo of Vinci'. Similarly someone with the family name 川口 might have had ancestors who lived in an area at the mouth of a river.
Would anyone with more experience in japanese family names and history care to confirm or deny this for me? It's an assumption I carry and if it's wrong I'd love to know so I don't continue.
