Japanese Names With Number and Counting Kanji

This collection brings together reviewed Japanese given-name spellings connected with one, six, a hundred, a thousand, a pair, or many. The qualifying spellings use 一, 六, 百, 千, 双, or 多 as literal number, quantity, or pairing elements.

What this meaning label covers

“Numbers & Counting” is an evidence-aware navigation label for the exact kanji spellings shown below. Inclusion means a qualifying character has the cited KANJIDIC gloss and the full spelling-and-reading pair passed the name publication gate; it does not prove a bearer’s intended meaning.

Published inclusion rule

Include a publishable name only when at least one exact reviewed spelling contains a qualifying character for one, six, a hundred, a thousand, a pair, or many; publish only the matching spelling or spellings, each supported by JMnedict and KANJIDIC.

Qualifying kanji: 一 · 六 · 百 · 千 · 双 · 多

How to interpret this collection

Numeric kanji can be one element of a longer established name spelling. Their presence does not by itself indicate birth order, family size, or a lucky number.

A single pronunciation can have multiple kanji spellings. Category membership applies only to the matching spelling shown on the card, not automatically to every spelling on the linked name record.

How to compare the names

  1. Compare the exact numbers & counting-related kanji and its other written elements before choosing a spelling to research.
  2. Open the individual name record to verify the reading, gender evidence, current sample evidence, pronunciation notes, and field-level source limits.
  3. Treat the English category as a discovery aid; confirm real-world naming and registration questions with a qualified native speaker and the relevant authority.

Frequently asked questions

Does every name here literally mean numbers & counting?

The label applies because the exact reviewed spelling has one or more character glosses that meet the inclusion rule. It does not prove every bearer's intended meaning.

Are these real Japanese given names?

Each spelling-and-reading pair comes from a name record that passed the site's dictionary, source, review-date, and relationship checks.

Can the same pronunciation use different kanji?

Yes. This page only covers the exact written form shown on each card; another spelling with the same reading may belong to a different meaning collection.
