Namae (名前 - Name)

Jan 5, 2018 17:44
Almost everything has 名前 (namae).

名前 (namae) is a term given to a thing or person, and is used for identification.

Since 前 (mae) is a term that means "organized," "complete," or "formal," you can say just 名 (na) instead of 名前 (namae).

There is a theory about the etymology about 名 (na) -- it comes from 音 (ne), which means "sound" -- but whether or not it's true is unclear.

Incidentally, a Japanese animated film 君の名は (Kimi no Na Wa - Your Name) was broadcast via television two days ago.

It was a very impressive movie.
名前

あらゆるものに、「名前」が付いています。

「名前」とは、物や人に与えられた言葉のことで、その対象を指し示す際に使われます。

「前」は「整えられた」「完全な」「正式な」などを意味する語で、「名前」は単に「名」と言うこともできます。

「名」の語源について、「音(ね)」から来ているという説がありますが、はっきりとしたことはわかっていません。

ちなみに一昨日、アニメ「君の名は」がテレビで放送されました。

とても印象的なアニメでした。
