Popular and Unique Japanese Boy’s name

In Japan, as in many Asian countries, use a fairly familiar system of names, but a little on the contrary. First, the Japanese give their last name, and then their personal name.

However, when translated from Japanese it is quite important and young translators are making annoying mistakes. The names of women and men in Japan vary greatly in structure. Personal names are one of the most difficult skills in Japanese.

Japan’s modern culture has undergone a very profound change. If before the traditions were strong enough in the field of names, now they have completely surrendered their positions.

Increasingly, when choosing a Japanese name for a boy, parents turn to modern cultural phenomena. So in Japan used names from cartoons and comics, which are addicted and quite adults.

For transliteration of the Japanese language in Cyrillic symbols is used “Polivanov’s system.” This is a transliteration system developed by the orientalist Polyanov.

It was introduced in 1930 and since then is considered a reference in Russian practice. It is not uncommon for some sources to transliterate. Let’s say they take an English translation and broadcast their own names from it. This often creates confusion in the names and surnames in translations.
