Japanese name from a Chinese / English name?
Is a Japanese name determined through Chinese characters or English name? Or how is a Japanese name determined?

Like I understand that "诗" is "Uta" in Japanese.
What if it's "诗余" ?

Thank you in advance :)

Answer

Many words have same meanings in Japanese and Chinese. So I can understand some Japanese names easily.
But not all the names are from Chinese

Answer

I'm not sure what your question is really about, but Japanese names are determined by parents. If you are asking how to determine your Japanese name as you are a foreigner, the Japanese usually just call by your original name. Or if you really want to have a traditional Japanese name, I'm sure there are baby naming websites that Japanese parents also check out.

Japanese name is always either in kanji or kanas, and foreign name is usually in katakana.
