About the Japanese Name Generator
Japanese personal names for stories, games, and character creation.
Names by Country makes this Japanese name generator for writers and game creators. It brings together recorded given names and surnames, their written forms and readings, and dictionary meanings of the individual characters.
A useful name starts with good information
We begin with recorded name datasets, check written forms and readings against a name dictionary, and select clear character meanings for the results. Original references stay with the data so the collection can be checked and improved.
Full names are generated combinations, not records of real people. Character meanings are not a translation of the whole name or a claim about a person's personality. The collection has not received a separate native-speaker review.
Names are generated directly in your browser. There is no account to create and no personal name to submit.
