And in modern times, the Japanese for the most part do not deviate from traditions, preferring to give children old names that carry a deep meaning, so to speak, proven by their ancestors. Of course, today, in fairness, it is worth noting the fact that not such a small part of the population, in pursuit of fashion, names their newborn children after anime characters. We are interested in the fact that Japanese names have their analogues in Russian names. In the article we will look at some popular men's.

Russian names in Japanese and their meanings

Basically, the formation of names in Japanese can be roughly divided into several groups:

• Names that have a connection with natural phenomena, such as seasons, elements, cardinal points, natural materials, etc. Among them: Kohaku, which means "amber", Kita, which means "north" and others like that.
• names that display and carry a collective image of male character traits. Such naming is intended to give the childappropriate qualities and provide him with a happy life. For example, Nibori means "famous".
• Names containing the -ro component, which translates as "son". For example, Ichiro.
• Names with the -give component, having an interpretation of greatness.

Characteristics of the name Konstantin and its analogue

In Japan, the Russian boy Kostya would be called Eizoku, the phonemic sound of this name is similar to the domestic counterpart, as well as the meaning itself.

Among Russian names in Japanese and their meanings, there are such names that are distinguished by a special "permanence". It is probably known to everyone who is more or less familiar with Latin that in translation this is Constantine. But there is also a certain duality hidden in this constant. How is this balance and immutability of character and attitude to the world achieved? A certain potential of struggle for the balance of power is always hidden inside the personality itself.

Thus, on the one hand, this is a person who alone is ready to cope with all life's difficulties, and seem or be actually unshakable by someone's opinion or view, absolutely independent in his opportunities. He is always the master of his fate and is also responsible for all his actions, not having the habit of relying on outside help.

You rarely meet Konstantin who would not be ready to offer his help to others, sometimes even to the detriment of his personal interests. He is happy to provide assistance and just advice in a confusing situation,and money, if really needed. Konstantin simply cannot stand imbalance and lack of harmony, which is what the state of a person who has lost his foothold and needs help can be called.

The features described above are especially pronounced, as a rule, at a later age, when a person has become stronger as a person and his life principles have been established.

Reverse side of the balance sheet

A characteristic of the name Konstantin or Eizoku is always considered from the point of view of its inherent constancy. But in fairness, we note that time always leaves its mark on a person. And in modern times, almost any person must be able to adapt and be flexible, especially in an era of transition. Therefore, even Constantine can change his constancy with enviable regularity, relying on the course of current events and being in search of a better place in life. His values and priorities may vary.

Thus, stability can only be maintained in his character and attitudes for a certain time. The problem here is that such a person will suffer from the inside.

What does "protector" mean

The name Alexander - the meaning of the name and fate bears the stamp of strength and courage. He is a fearless warrior and an invincible knight, in whose veins flows the blood of a great ancestor. This is a man - equally developed physically and spiritually - endowed with a sense of justice and will not accept deceit, unless it was undertaken for the sake of saving someonelife.

His energy is truly strong: next to him you feel safe and reliable, such a person will not betray, he is simply not capable of it. Also, Alexander will not forgive betrayal - this will put an end to the relationship immediately.

A man named Mamoru in Japan is a purposeful person with a heightened sense of duty, whose first priority is to protect the rights of not only his own, but also those who are humiliated and offended. It is not easy for him in life because of his direct and tough nature, he is rarely inclined to compromise. But this is justified by the benefit he is trying to bring to society.

As for ordinary life, Mamoru first of all needs to provide for himself and his family with everything necessary, create material comfort and be a breadwinner. His woman, in turn, should be economic and maintain comfort in the house. A frivolous, slovenly person is clearly not a match for him.

Depending on who to protect

In the conditions of modern upbringing and traditions, a significant difference between the meaning of the name and the fate of the name Alexander and Mamoru can be noted in the very approach of "cultivating" men in different countries. In the country of the Rising Sun, the Protector acts in his, one might say, direct role, and his ambition and lust for power will be directed more towards the external plane - for the benefit of society. Whereas in Russia the name trend tends to be self-interested first.

Russian names in Japanese and their meanings have a common root, but the fruits on the tree bloom depending onsuggested conditions: how bright the sun shines, how often it rains, and whether the winds are strong.

Who is gradually revealed

A person named Higashi is someone who never plays in public and prefers to remain in the background. He is very hardworking and is able, thanks to his perseverance, to achieve a lot in life. He may not have big ambitions, but he clearly defines the goals in his life and goes towards them slowly but surely.

Higashi is a balanced, calm person, not inclined to show violent emotions. He likes to do something with his hands and his life's field is often associated with manual craftsmanship. This way they can devote more time to their reflections.

Their inner world, which has accumulated a lot of experience and skills over the years, is revealed gradually and only to the one whom he chooses as a life partner. To others, he may well remain just a quiet guy.

But if a person speaks for his deeds, then people in due time may be surprised how much he has achieved, while "doing nothing". Higashi constantly works internally on his thoughts, he does not take empty steps, but only those that have creation as their basis.

He can make both a good builder and a writer.

Based on the description of the name, one can understand why the Japanese Higashi or Russian Anatoly means "sunrise" in translation: like this natural phenomenon, a person gains inner strength of thought and action and only then reveals the fruits of his achievements over many years.

Who can wait

We see how Russian names in Japanese and their meanings are closely intertwined due to their overall sound and mood. All the features that one way or another are inherent in Anatoly, we will find in Higashi. The difference will be in which country certain qualities are more welcome from the standpoint of their perception by society. In the Land of the Rising Sun, Anatoly or Higashi will be more likely to be understood thanks to the ability to wait, embedded in culture. Everything has its time and its fruits. While in Russia, he will simply not be noticed if at least sometimes he does not "come into the light".

A few words about the popularity of names

In recent years, these names have fallen in the ranking of the most popular compared to decades earlier, when you could meet Alexandrov, Anatoliev and Konstantinov in your yard as much as you like. They still remain classics in naming and retain traditions, but are no longer unique. If we consider the "predilections" of Japan in this vein, then they also have a tradition of so-called unique names, when parents themselves make up the name of the child from the available syllables - hieroglyphs. So, you can get a name that only one person on Earth will bear.

In the love field, everything does not always go smoothly for him, for all his positive features, he is very amorous and at the same time "outgoing" from love. But in order to justify his name, he tends to take the serious step of creating a family only once inlife. Of course, other factors and circumstances are not ruled out that may prompt him to change his mind and views on this matter.
