OK, I know that kanji isn't really correct to make an English name, but I decided to do it anyway.
My first name is Joseph, so after a long time checking hundreds of websites for an average meaning (some word it differently) I take the meaning as 'he shall add', which is יוֹסֵף (pronounced yosef like the Germans pronounce it). OK, so for 'he shall add', I have a problem: 'he', I take it in that sentence, refers to God, but it may not, it might mean the owner of the name. I then chose the word 'to increase' in Japanese, 増やす, which yes I know it is a verb
Can anyone else do any better with my name. 'He shall add' is the meaning, but can anyone think of a kanji name that works with that?
It's just a little fun, and I can hopefully learn meanings of kanji from doing this. Once I have got the hang of it, I shall do my friends names etc, and I should be able to learn meanings by names.
Thanks, Joe
