Description
You've probably already noticed how names contain meaning from just a few words. In Asian culture, these meanings are more diverse: they may contain philosophical thoughts or instructions for the future life. Our online Asian name generator will help you select and discover such names for a variety of purposes.
In Western traditions, we are accustomed to the fact that a name can sound beautiful, but we rarely think about its meaning. The situation is completely different in Asia. Here the choice of name is treated with special trepidation. There people are sure that it can influence a person’s destiny. In China, Japan, Korea and other countries in the region, a name is a child’s path through life; whatever qualities you ascribe to him through a name, he will carry with him forever. Previously, parents could spend weeks choosing hieroglyphs, consulting with astrologers and monks, so that their child would receive a beautiful Asian name. Now you can use Internet services with all the information. By the way, an interesting fact for those who are little familiar with Asian culture: in Asia, the surname comes first, and then the personal name. Which is unusual for other cultures.
So, let's discuss traditions in different Asian countries: Japan is an amazing country that is becoming more and more popular around the world as a highly technological country. Japanese names consist of two characters. The first indicates the order of birth of the child (first, second...), the second hieroglyph indicates the desired personal qualities. It's also worth noting that Japan has an official list of available characters for use in names. That is, you won’t be able to use anything super original. At the same time, the list contains about 2000 characters, which gives good variety. Therefore, the Asian name generator for the Japanese segment always uses only permitted hieroglyphs - this guarantees that the name can actually be registered (if they want to use our generator for the name of a real child). Also, if you want to generate a name for fun, then in the form you can specify that the tool experiment.
Chinese names are some of the oldest in the world. They contain the history of many centuries. A Chinese name consists of a surname and a personal name. A name, unlike Japanese ones, can be absolutely anything, but it must have a meaning. Parents most often choose options that will bring good luck to their child. At the same time, the number of surnames is limited - there are about 400 of them. Chinese names also have one more feature. Their language has a huge number of identical sounding words with different meanings. Therefore, it is important to understand exactly what hieroglyph the name is written in.
Korean names are incredibly popular right now thanks to the K-pop and K-drama wave. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people around the world may want to choose a Korean name for their child or character. Korean names are very similar in structure to Chinese names. But they have a very interesting fact: most Koreans have one of three surnames: Kim, Lee or Park. Koreans are very attentive to the musicality of a name; it should sound pleasant. That is, when choosing a name, it should sound harmonious with the surname. Therefore, if you are trying to generate a Korean name, then you should first decide on the surname in the form.
Another beautiful country from South Asia is India. A country that consists of dozens of languages and where you can truly get lost in the possibilities of choosing a new name. Indian names are usually combined with concepts of virtue, natural phenomena or deities. But due to the number of languages, it is a choice among many options. In addition, you can move away from this tradition.
