Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Page 1 of 4: Posts 1 - 20 of 74   1 2 3 4 next what does my name mean? 2004/4/1 my name is kambri kelly biddy or bailey by kambri bailey   yellowtail 2004/4/1 Basically, you cannot find any meanings of your name in Japanese or Chinese characters. But your fast name? "kambri" is phonetically equivalent to "winter yellowtail" in Japanese. Japanese love to eat it. by pacman rate this post as useful Clear as crystal 2004/5/6 My name means I'm fraglie and peaceful. by chichi15 rate this post as useful my name 2004/5/11 i have a chinese name, i guess. but i wanted to know what my name means in japanese and how to speak it. by jeanine lie-hap-po rate this post as useful " I guess"? 2004/5/12 What do you mean by saying that? Basically, you need Chinese letters for your name to know its meaning. No one could analyze what your name means from alphabets or plonounciation.... by popo rate this post as useful i don't know 2004/5/13 my name is just lie-hap-po. my cousin says that my grand grand parents just took the first 3 leters of there name and put a - between it. so lie is a piece of a name, hap and also po. okay i know its very complicatet but try to understand by jeanine rate this post as useful Chinese name 2004/5/13 Maybe it helps if you give a little more information about your background. Normally the people with Chinese names know what characters are used to write that name. Did your Chinese great grand parents move to another country and the original meaning of your name got lost in time? The problem is that only by looking at those Chinese characters, people can tell you what the meaning is in Japanese, which is probably about the same as the meaning in Chinese as often the meaning of the Chinese characters and the Japanese kanji corresponds. by Kappa rate this post as useful background 2004/5/13 i asked my mother and she says it means white water flower. yes, my family travelled around a lot. i have blood from: venuzuela,china,suriname,aruba and holland. i only know the travelled a lot so... but if no one knows the answer to my question then let it be. greetings by jeanine rate this post as useful What you can do 2004/5/14 You can go to a Chinese restaurant, explain the possible meaning and phonetics to a native Chinese staff and get a guess of the letters being used. Be sure that the staff is from the same region as your great grand parents, or else the reading can be quite different. Once you know the letters, you can install a software to show correct fonts and post it here. by Uco rate this post as useful Flower and Amber 2004/5/14 Lie might be a famous Chinese name lee as Bruce Lee hap might be a Chinese character, "flower" About "po", no idea because there're 22 options in my Chinese IME. But the most beautiful chinese character for your po, I think, is the one used in "amber" in English. If you pronounce those characters in Japaese, Lee Ka Haku is MY answer. When you get right anser, please post it here again. by pacman rate this post as useful . 2004/5/14 sorry, I did not read your third post, the anser must be "Lee Ka Haku" here in Japan, but the right Chinese character for your po is not amber, but "to stay". It might be possible that the root of "po" would be "white water", for the character consist of 2 parts, water and white. 李　華泊　is your name. by pacman rate this post as useful tnks 2004/5/15 tnks very much :-) by jeanine rate this post as useful Ryoko 2004/5/23 What does the name Ryoko mean? by Ryoko rate this post as useful The name Ryoko 2004/5/23 Ryoko is one of the most popular name in Japan, so it doesn't have any special meaning. But, if written in Chinese character(Kanji), it somtimes means "a good woman",or "a bright woman". Ko means a woman, and the meaning of Ryo cannot be specified because it has various Kanji. If you know your Kanji name I can specify its meaning. Anyway,it is sure that your name is very good one! by TatsuHo rate this post as useful My nick-name 2004/5/25 What does my other nick-name "Kurohoshi" mean? by kurohoshi rate this post as useful what does my name mean? 2004/6/6 hi. i was just wondering what my name means and i was hoping you could tell me. my full name is samantha janette thomas. i would really appreciate if you could find it out for me. :-) by samantha rate this post as useful Samantha: 2004/6/7 'Samantha' and 'Janette' (variant 'Jane') are from the Bible and are Hebrew words, so without any 'meaning' in Japanese: Samantha = Listener of God Janette = God is Gracious 'Thomas' as a first name is also biblical (e.g. Doubting Thomas). This is a Greek word, and when used as a boy's first name: Thomas = A Twin It should be possible to form some nice words to describe you from kanji which have the same sounds, although 'Samantha' might be difficult. by Vannin rate this post as useful how is it prenounced? 2004/7/21 sorry to bother again,so my name is Lee Ka Haku in japanese but how do you prenounce it? and what is jeanine in japanese? thanks by hi rate this post as useful Just Wondering 2004/7/21 well this isnt really an answer to anything, but actually a question. Im very curious about my name in japanese my english name is cooper Japanese:Kuupaa - can anyone tell me what this means?? by Cooper rate this post as useful Jennie's question. 2004/7/23 Can I know what language do your great-grandpa speak? At that time, Mandarin is not used throughout the mainland China. Mandarin has got no stop-final-consonant ( There are no such a sound "hap" in "Chinese" ) Without knowing the dialect used by your family, it's hard to determine the written form of your name, thus the Japanese reading of your name. For example, my name is pronouned "zeming" in Mandarin Chinese, but "dakvin" in Taiwanese and "zaakming" in my mother-tongue (Hong Kong Cantonese). And I think you cannot get "taku-mei" (Japanese reading of my name) from the Mandarin ("zeming" ), right? by Lau Chaak-ming rate this post as useful Page 1 of 4: Posts 1 - 20 of 74   1 2 3 4 next
