I think this is a beautiful name. I have said this before Japanese names have amazing beautiful meanings. The look, sound and meaning of Sakura is beautiful and lovely. This is a popular name in Animes I heard though I don't read Animes. I hear it is a very popular female name in Japan. Still it is beautiful and I would love to see it used even more.
The name Sakura is actually not a common name in Japan. In fact, I rarely come across a Japanese person with that name. Even in anime these days, the name isn't used much anymore.
ReplyDeletepardon me, I meant to say popular, not common.
DeleteI am unfamiliar with what is considered popular or common names in many different countries, including Japan. I do come to like many names from other countries and I do try to do research on the names but sometimes some information about the names slip through. I did find a site that said it was popular but I can’t remember the site now as it has been a long time since I researched this name. Then I think I heard it or saw it was an anime name but again I am not sure which anime.
DeleteI want to thank you for informing me and any readers of this blog that Sakura is not a popular Japanese name. I did not know that. I do still like it though. It is really pretty and I love the meanings. Also maybe the rarity of this name could be a good thing when naming a character or child or doing a name change.
Again thanks for informing me about the name Sakura. I hope you found my blog to be interesting and / or informative.
