I know "ai" means love (amIrite?)

I'm not sure, but there are better people here (kokuou for example) that might know.

The kanji ˆ¤ means love, but there are other kanji that are also read "ai".

Here you go: ƒAƒCƒi

I would write it like this:
ˆ¤›P

ˆ¤@(ai), as you know, means love.
›P (na) means graceful.

So your name (ˆ¤›P) simply means "Love and Gracefulness" or you could translate this poeticly as "Graceful Love".

I don't know if that character is Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese) or not, but I've never seen it before :confused:

I'm pretty sure I've heard of this as an actual Japanese name before... If not, then it surely can be used without any ˆá˜aŠ´ to a Japanese person.

This is how I would write it in Š¿Žš«

ˆ¤Ø
—•Ø
ˆ¤“Þ
—•“Þ

or even

‚ ‚¢‚È

is cute on it's own just like that in hiragana.
Dochira already gave you the katakana, so use which you like the best :victory:

wow! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: thanks guys!
(:glomp: dochira , :hug: KameSan, :kiss: kokuou)


You guys hav made me love my name even more! :)
so is it possible for a japanese to have my name?

EDIT: my name means "eyes"/ "beautiful eyes" in arabic.
it can also mean "where?" (depends on how you pronounce it)
So if its translated to japanese what would it be?

No prob :victory:

Yes, your name could be an actual Japanese name (there are very few that can be, however, you are one of the lucky ones :mrgreen: ).

You would use the above suggestions if you were to actually go to Japan, because foreigners' names are pronounced as close to their original pronunciation as possible.

BUT, just for fun, there is an actual Japanese girls name that means "eye(s)."

“µ (pronounced "hitomi")

HTH,

Hehe :victory:

When names go into katakana, they don't have meanings. Katakana, although originally created from kanji for grammatical markers (YES, BELIEVE IT! Hiragana was invented AFTER katakana :beaten:), but is now used for foreign words, names, and the like.

So, your name would be:

ƒGƒ}@ƒJ[ƒfƒBƒi
or
ƒGƒ}@ƒJƒ‹ƒfƒBƒi

depending on how much of the "R" sound is pronounced, and where the stress falls.

HTH,

kawaii!! domo arigatogozaimasu!! :woot: what about hiragana? still don't have meanings for my name? what about chika?i used chika for my nickname... :bow: :bow:

Yeah, well it's not a Jouyou kanji, it's one of those rare annoying kanji that you hardley ever see. Call me a cheater, but I went looking in my kanji dictionary for all kanji that you could use as "na" in a foreign name. That one was the most 'appealing'. But it's definitley there :mrgreen:

Wow, this thread is moving along at REAL TIME speed tonight :beaten:

Still no meaning with hiragana, since they are only phonetic symbols.

‚¦‚܁@‚©[‚Å‚¡‚È
‚¦‚܁@‚©‚é‚Å‚¡‚È

As for CHIKA, though, that is a Japanese name, but there are SO MANY different renderings for it in kanji:

ç‰À (a thousand beauties)
ç‰Ä (a thousand summers - NOTE: usually pronounce CHINATSU, but can also be CHIKA)
’m (knowledge of fragrances)
’q‰À (resourceful beauty)

These are just some of the probably dozens of ways of writing this name.

wwahh!! hontoni domo arigatogozaimasu!!!!!!! :bow: :bow: :bow: thanks soooo much!!!!!! HONTONI!!! i really love it!!! :bow: :dancing: :dancing:

how about Œb”üŽq? What's the real meaning? My father failed to explain the true meaning altho he's the one who gave me this name at the first place :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:

P/S: None are Japanese in my family, just that my father said his Japanese friend said Œb”üŽq has a good meaning, is it true?

Awww... that is cute :victory: and so cool to get a Japanese name even though you're not Japanese :dancing:

Your name means literally "blessed beauty child," so something like "a child blessed with beauty."

‘‰¤š

trust me altho it looks cool but it's hard to deal with others, because they'll joke around with ur name, simply because it sounds weird for a non-japanese :shamefulcry: :banghead:

oh so that's the real meaning, and I thought the Œb was from ’mŒb haha.. so it's from ‚ß‚®‚Þ afterall.. thanks for confirming this :woot: :dancing: :bow: :bow:
