What's in a Name? | Lesson 1
Part 1
This is a short essay about names written by an
American teacher of English in Japan.
G-1
1) The other day, when I asked my students to
explain their first names in English in the class,
5 some of them said that their names had no meaning,
but just had good sounds. This surprised me
because I often hear Japanese people have meanings
in their names. Some students, though, explained
interesting stories about their names. For example,
10 a student whose name is Sho ( said to me, "My
name means I will prosper, soaring on wings, because
the Chinese character of Sho has that meaning."
Another student whose name is Urara (555) said
to the class that her name comes from the Japanese
15 word uraraka meaning "bright
and gentle like spring sunlight."
For Westerners, this meaning
aspect of Japanese names can
be fascinating, as it is a unique
20 way to express a meaning or an
image in a name.

Why can the meaning aspect of Japanese names be fascinating for Westerners?
