Gender scope
Unisex records are intentionally kept in the full First Names directory. This narrower page does not relabel them as male for extra coverage.
Meaning boundary
Character glosses describe the reviewed spelling. They do not prove every bearer's intended whole-name meaning, and a shared pronunciation does not make two kanji forms equivalent.

Counts refer only to records in this directory whose exact published kanji meet each collection's inclusion rule.
