Corinth's list "Japanese Girl Names" of 20 great name ideas: Kurumi - Mao!

Japanese Girl Names

This is a list of Japanese names given to girls. In some circumstances a "meaning" is included, but do realize that many Japanese names could have several meanings, depending on the Chinese characters used (or not used), and not all of the possible character combinations will be listed along with the names. Some characters have multiple pronunciations and meanings also. These are not necessarily the most popular names in Japan, but they have all been given to real people. 

Just like in English speaking cultures, some parents like to get creative with how their names are spelled or, in this case, how the Chinese characters that make up the name are read. Such names are also included.
