List of Japanese male names with meanings

In this article, we will see a list of Japanese male names with their ideogram and meaning. This list can be useful for those who want to name their child or even a pet.

Remembering that the meaning is quite shallow and sometimes does not make sense because it requires the person to know the ideogram and its essence to understand the deep meaning of each name. Therefore, I do not guarantee a 100% correct translation but rather a literal one.

I recommend that before deciding on your child’s name, do extensive research on the meaning of these ideograms using a dictionary. This way you can be sure if this name is used as a first name or surname.

We already have a huge list of female names that you can read by clicking here.
