Sailormercury :: Name

Name//Japanese:
Name: Mizuno Ami 水野亜美 (みずのあみ)

Name Explination//Japanese:
Ami is Sailormercury's given name. Mizuno is her family name. In Japan, a person's name is written family name then given name. So it is correctly written Mizuno Ami.

Name Meaning//Japanese:
水 Mizu: water
野 No: field, civilian life [similar to "の" - possesive word "of"]
亜 A: Asia/Ranked next
美 Mi: Beauty

Sailormercury's name has two meanings. This is because of the Kanji character, 野. This character written in Romaji or Roman Characters (like the ones used in English) is no. This Kanji character sounds like the Hirigana character that is also pronounced as no, but is written like this: の. The Hirigana の (no) means "of" in English. However, in Sailormercury's last name, Mizuno, no is written in Kanji. This Kanji character, 野, means "civilian life" or "field." So when Mizuno Ami is translated by the way it is written, it means: "Water Civilian Asian Beauty" or "Civilian Asian Water Beauty." This makes Ami's name a pun, beacause, when Mizuno Ami is translated by the way it is said, it means: "Asian Beauty of Water."

Therefore these are the two meanings of Mizuno Ami:
Literal Maning: "Civilian Asian Water Beauty"
Pun Meaning: "Asian Beauty of Water"

Name Pronunciation//Japanese:
Mizuno Ami is pronounced as follows:
Mee-zoo-no Ah-mee

Name Connections//Japanese:
Many Japanese Kanji characters can be read differently to have other meanings (almost like bat and bat in English). The Kanji 水 is read as Mizu in Sailormercury's family name; however, it can also be read as sui. The planet Mercury is known as "suisei" (水星) or "Water Star". The word Suiyoubi (水曜日) means "Wednesday." It is made up of the Kanji characters for mizu which means "water," you which means "weekday," and bi which means "day."

It is acceptable to use both in either way and it is based upon user preference.
