Japan Generator Name

Japan Generator Name is a free Japanese name generator that helps you create culturally accurate names with real kanji, romaji pronunciations, and straightforward English meanings—no Japanese knowledge required.

Choose what you need (full name, first name only, or last name only), then narrow results by gender and by how many kanji characters you want. You can also filter by meaning tags like nature, strength, beauty, wisdom, hope, light, courage, peace, or purity to match a character’s personality or a baby’s inspiration.

Each result includes the kanji plus the reading, along with an English meaning so you can avoid mismatched translations or outdated-sounding names. Save favorites, export your list, and refine your search until you find names that feel right for your story, game, profile, or family.
