Japanese name meaning

[lightvale]

I just got done watching a short series called "Hatsu Inu" and was wondering what one of the mean characters names mean. Her name is "Fujino." Anyone know the meaning?

Lol, no idea. Try finding the kanji and using google TL or something

The name of Fujino is 藤野. Just a name like Jim, John....

I know that it's a bump, but I felt the need to reply =D

Fujino means Wisteria fields here. Fuji = wisteria (a tree?) and No = field.

So what vermilion said here is generally correct, but the same goes for English (and Dutch, etc) names. (Johnson = son of John of course; in English and Dutch, many last names are based on the fathers name (patronym)) In Japanese, most names are based on the region/surroundings of origin, as Fujino here.

There are some kanji that are often used in (last) names, and if you know those, you can redirect a lot of names from there.

japanese name meaning is based on the character (kanji) meaning;
the difficult thing is, when kanji use for name they have different reading; sometimes it's totally different from standard reading
