Japanese Names

Personal Names for Buke
For a high-ranked buke , such as shogun, daimyo , high officials of shogunate etc., two kanji characters with noble images were combined and used. There was a wide variety for a low-ranked bushi . Ichiro (the first son), Jiro (the second son), Saburo (the third son), Shiro (the fourth son), Goro (the fifth son), and their variation such as Chojiro , Kanzaburo , Heishiro , Daigoro etc. were commonly used. -Emon, -Ji, -Zo, -Suke, -Be are also common such as Kuemon , Hikozaemon , Goemon , Heiji , Heizo , Kinnosuke , Kanbe , Hyobe , Denbe etc.

Modern Personal Names
Ichiro is a name for a first son. Jiro is one for a second son, Saburo is for a third son, Shiro for a fourth son, and Goro for fifth son. Some of modern male names end -ichi or -kazu suffix, both of which mean ``the first son,''
And -ji suffix means ``the second son,'' -zo does ``the third son,'' such as, Eiji, Shunji, Ryozo, Senzo . Some names consists of the combination of those above, such as, Eichiro, Kojiro, Yushiro, Yugoro.

Personal Names for other people
People who are neither the noble or buke such as farmers, merchants, craftsmen, have only their personal names, but not family names. So they called each other by their personal name with place names or shop names. For example, Ryobe of Honda village, Kansuke of Echigoya cloth store, etc. Their names were similar to those of low ranked buke.

Buddhist Naming Conventions
Once a person becomes a Buddhist priest or nun, he or she is given new name.
Males add the suffix -bo. I.e. Hitachibo, Musashibo, Toujinbo.
Females add the suffix -ni. I.e. Gesshinni, Zenshinni.

Female Names
There was a wide variety of names for women. Most of modern female names end -ko suffix, which means 'child.' Some female names end -mi suffix, which means 'beauty.'' The suffix -hime means 'princess,'' so a woman named Koi could called Koihime if she was noble and not married yet. Hime can also be used as a title and form of address to buke and noble women. The suffix -gozen was used for a wife of a Buke , such as Shizuka-gozen. The wife of a buke or noble should be called as 'okugata-sama' both as a form of address and a term of referral. When a buke died, his widow usually became an ama (nun) in an amadera (convent). Such a widow renamed herself, and put the -In suffix to her new name.

Appellations and Honorifics
Unless you're speaking to a very close friend or relative, you need to tack an honorific onto the name of the person you're talking to. The choice of honorific reflects the formality of the occasion, the psychological distance between you and the other person, and where you stand relative to him or her in the social hierarchy. When talking about someone who is not present it is correct to address them with the most polite honorific and their title.

-San is the most common, of course. Originally -san was a contraction of -sama which appeared in the Edo period. It is found in all kinds of situations, uttered by both men and women, young and old. -san roughly indicates the same social level. -san is also used when a superior addresses an inferior politely. -san is never used with the given name, but with the family name, shop name, home town name, etc. Strangers are often called by their profession with -san added (i.e. Anjin-san- Mr. Pilot).

For very formal occasions or when being very polite to a social superior, you might opt for -sama, but be sure to accompany it with the proper honorific, humble, and polite forms, or whatever you say can muster in that regard. In day-to-day life, you're most likely to hear -sama used by tellers in banks or clerks in department stores to address their customers. -sama is also used by servants or employees to their master, children to parents, or commoners to a samurai or noble.

-Dono is usually translated as lord, -Tono is translated as sire. Both are used by samurai to address their Daimyo. From the Heian period until the Edo period, -dono was the polite form of address for equals, and the required address for superiors unless a higher title was used.

-gimi is also translated as lord and usually used as a term of respect. NOTE: the kanji for -gimi is now read as -kun, see below for the usage of -kun. It is interesting in that the term has gone from respect to much less respectful.

The emperor is usually addressed as Heika or Ue-Sama (both meaning "sire." When referred to the emperor is called Tenno Heika ("His Majesty the Emperor").

-Sensei is used to address teachers and doctors.

-In is the suffix for a Buddhist monk or nun.

When you're speaking to a close friend or colleague who's at the same or a lower level in rank, you might want to use -chan or -kun after the first (especially with -chan) or last name, the former most often in reference to women, the latter to men. When -chan is used after the full last name, howeeever, it can leave an impression of courseness. The level of speech should reflect the implied intimacy. (-chan is also the most common honorific for talking to or about babies and children, especially girls; -kun is frequently used for boys.) -chan is most commonly used to address female lovers by males, whereas -kun is used by females to address their male lovers.

Talking to someone where you're saying 'you' can also have many connotations. Anata is most commonly used between equals. Kimi is the polite way of saying 'you' to an inferior. Kisama, Onore, and Omae all have negative connotation as they are used to address those with less social standing. Kisama generally has the same translation as "You bastard." Omae is one social step above Kisama, and usually used by men addressing women.

Addressing one's self is usually accomplished through the use of Watashi. Watakushi is more formal and used in polite settings. Ore and boku are very haughty and offensive way of saying 'I' and usually used by arrogant samurai, daimyo, and nobles.
