Need a Kanji Translated? Just ask!

Can you translate my son his name in katakana and in 1 or 2 kanjis if you have the time his name is Jayden
 
慈英伝

Phonetically this is a close as you'll get. じえいでん Ji-ei-den
The meaning of the kanji are compassion + excel (excellent) + legend (or transmission).
You can create the same sound with different kanji (meaning; there are different kanji that have the same exact sounds).
慈英伝、慈英田、慈英電、自営伝, etc.. but the meanings start to be a bit silly and unpoetic.
 
This is my son's name but in Japanese his name is ジェード (Jade). I don't think we assigned any kanji to it.
 
Yeah i was looking on translators and kanji generators and i tought i wanted to be sure they were correct tank you for your help it helped alot
 
It sounds like G.I. Den.
If that is the sound you are looking for, we can find some kanji that fits.
 
Maybe じゃいでん/ジャイデン instead? (I use ジャン for my first name.)
 
Okay, I wasn't paying enough attention...

But if kanji are not the priority--tho it looks like they are--then I'd go for ジェーデン.
 
Hi.
Here is one from a Japanese silver vase. Can you help translate?

Thanks. You all are awesome.

 
Awesome Thanks Chris. Strangely I cant so far I cant find a Japanese silversmith named Tomomori. Maybe the mark is who it was made for and not the maker. Looks like I have some research to do.
 
友守 Tomomori also can be a male given name.
 
Tomomori is the only one possible reading even in that period.
 
Hello, everyone! Can anyone tell me what this says? I Imagine its the artist's name. It's on the bottom of an old Kokeshi doll. Many thanks!

The middle ones are written vertically, and I believe it says




It appears to be the artist's name. I won't hazard a guess as to the ones on either side.
 
I considered that, too, but I based my response on this auction.
You're probably correct, though. I don't know squat about kokeshi dolls.
 
It's not really Japanese kanji. Looks like someone took some kanji and added some bits onto them.
I mean, the first one kind of looks like 正 (truth, justice) with some extra strokes added to it. The second one kind of looks like 木 (tree) with an extra stroke added to it.

But adding strokes renders the kanji into something nonsensical.

Just like if you added a dot or a line to the letter "K".
It doesn't turn it into a new letter, it just turns it into a ridiculous-looking "K".
