Who knows some common Japanese names?

Yamada Seiichi, Yoshida Yokota, Yoshida Yokota, Keno Haibao Hasegawa Kobayashi Tanaka Ichiro, Tao Qian Michiko, Sakata Ichiro, most Japanese names are expressed in Chinese characters. It's very similar to the names of the Han nationality in China: the surname comes first, then the surname, and the father's surname is passed down from generation to generation. But there are many changes. Japanese surnames generally consist of one to five Chinese characters, of which two are in the majority, up to nine at most. Such as: Kita, Ike, Kishimoto; Suzuki Tanaka; Utsunomiya, saionji; ChokushikawaraKadenokoji et al. Most people have two words in their names. So Japanese names are often composed of four Chinese characters. According to statistics, there are 6.5438+0.2 million surnames in Japan, of which 42 are the most common surnames, among which Suzuki, Sato, Tanaka, Yamamoto, Watanabe, Gao Qiao, Kobayashi, Nakamura, Ito and Saito account for 6.5438+0/6.5438+00 of the Japanese population. Before the Meiji Restoration, only China people, nobles and aristocratic families had surnames, and there were no surnames in peacetime. In the early years of Meiji, in order to fabricate household registration, tax collection and military service, workers began to have surnames. Therefore, place names, field names, life experiences, family, occupation, residence, house numbers, tools, and even animal and plant names all become the basis for choosing surnames. For example, Tanaka, Miki, Sasaki and so on. Take the place name as the surname; On the mountain, Matsuoka was named after his residence. 1898 after the promulgation of the household registration law, every surname is fixed and cannot be changed at will; The original surname is still used when separating, and the principle is that the son takes the father's surname and the wife takes the husband's surname, which is passed down from generation to generation. After World War II, although Japanese law stipulated that women could get married without their husband's surname, in fact, most people still took their husband's surname. For example, the famous Japanese table tennis player Song Dai changed his name to Kurimoto after he got married. In today's Japan, the names of some special trades or craftsmen can be passed down from generation to generation. For example, Kabuki's Shirakawa Duanshiro, Tail Chrysanthemum Shiro and so on. It has been hereditary for many years and can be passed on to disciples, adopted sons and peers. The usage is to add "which generation" before the original name, such as "Shiro of the 11th Sichuan Formation" and "Shiro of the 5th Chrysanthemum". The Japanese name it by ranking. Such as Ichiro Kono, Kinjiro, Saburo Ito and Shiro Nagano. Many names have certain meanings. Pigs, males, tigers, bears, etc. Show courage; Good, happy, auspicious, festive and auspicious; Tortoise, crane, pine, Chiyo, etc. It means longevity. Women's names often use the word "Zi", such as Chunzi, Fangle, Chieko and Xiuzi. Some also use Chiyoda and Fumie, but most of them use "Zi" as the last word. Japanese names are usually written with surnames first, but when translated into western languages, they are often changed to surnames first and spelled in Roman characters according to the original Japanese pronunciation. Since the Japanese government proposed in 195 1 to restrict the use of Chinese characters in personal names, more and more people in Japan have the same surname, so some people advocate using pseudonyms instead of Chinese characters. Some adopted "foreign names" because of the influence of Europe and America, such as "Xiangchuan Napoleon" and "Red Pine Paul". ~ ~ Looking forward to satisfaction ~ ~
