Our Story
Namaegen began as a passion project born from frustration with existing "Japanese name generators" that produced meaningless combinations or culturally inaccurate results. As enthusiasts of Japanese language and culture, we knew there had to be a better way.
We spent countless hours researching Japanese naming conventions, consulting linguistic resources, studying anime and manga character naming patterns, and verifying names against real-world usage. The result is a carefully curated database that reflects actual Japanese naming traditions.
Whether you're an author writing a novel set in Tokyo, a game developer creating authentic Japanese characters, an anime fan exploring the culture behind your favorite shows, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of Japanese names, Namaegen is here to help you find the perfect name.
Why Japanese Names Matter
Japanese names are more than just labels—they're carefully crafted poems that embody parents' hopes for their children. Each Kanji character carries meaning, and the combination of characters creates a unique message that accompanies a person throughout their life.
From the cherry blossom symbolism of Sakura to the soaring aspiration of Haruto, from the ancient wisdom of Takeshi to the gentle grace of Hana, every name has a story to tell.
Our mission is to help you discover these stories and find names that resonate with your creative vision while respecting the cultural traditions that make Japanese names so meaningful.
Our Commitment
Cultural Authenticity
We verify all names against real Japanese sources and consult with native speakers to ensure accuracy.
Continuous Improvement
We regularly update our database with new names and refine our algorithms based on user feedback and cultural trends.
Respect for Tradition
We honor the depth and significance of Japanese naming conventions and never treat names as mere data points.
Educational Purpose
We aim to foster cultural appreciation and understanding through the beautiful world of Japanese names.
