When translated, doesn't Kenshin mean True Sword in English? What do the other names of anime characters mean in English? Shishio Makoto? Himura? Akira? Tetsuo? I have some other ones, I'll try to find a good site on finding how to translate these in the mean time... If you're wondering about other anime characters names, post them here and I or someone else can translate them. |

Kenshin (剣心) actually means Sword Heart or Heart of Sword. Himura (ç·‹æ‘) as far as I can tell means 'Non-village'. The 'hi' kanji used is basically obsolete other than in names. Shishio Makoto (志々雄真実) Shishio means 'Male creature's amibitions' and Makoto, of course, means 'Truth'. The kanji used can make a big difference on the meaning of a name.  |

You have to see the name in Kanji how they write it, coz there are some words with same pronounciation but different ways of writing in Kanji... Sharon (å°ç‹¼) - little wolf Ranma (乱马) - by looking at the kanji it means a mess of horses...  |

Ranma means violent horse Millefeulle is a French cooking term for a dish with lots and lots of layers, usually a terrine style dish (something packed in a meatloaf pan). Tetsuo is probably something to do with metal or steel. Some names don't have meanings, they are just names. And yes, the kanji makes a HUGE difference in meaning. Furuhashi can be old bridge or old chopsticks without the kanji. |

(レイ) Rei in the anime or comic book don't have any kanji, so there is no meaning. Also its in Katakana, and not hiragana, so it may be assumed that it could possibly be a foreign name, like ray or something (but that's more masculine). Ayanami means Twill wave. There's also 冷(rei) which is cold, which could also be it, because of her cold emotionless attitude but there may not be too deep of a meaning, and we may be thinking too deeply into it.

"God save our king"..is that the english name of Kyou Kara Maou? x_X Anway, Yuri/Yuuri's name is explained in the series. Conrad suggested his name because he(Yuuri)'s born in July, and in German July is "juli" (sp?), pronounced somewhat like "yuu-li". Which in hiragana would be Yuri or yuuri.  |

Hotaru - firefly Ruka - A Japanese girl's name, don't know what the real meaning is Tsubasa - wing/wings Natsume - A Japanese girl's name, it's a kind of tree called the Jujube tree ^^ Note Ruka & Natsume are typically girls names, but I see these characters are boys! Well its not unusual for boys to be given girls names and the other way round. A lot of japanese names are unisex anyway.  |
