Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Katana

Meaning: (Sword, Sabre)

Origin: (Japanese)

Pronunciation: (Ka-ton-ah, Kuh-than-uh, kuh-tana)

Gender: Female

Historically, katana (?) were one of the traditionally made Japanese swords (日本刀 nihonto?) that were worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan, also commonly referred to as a "samurai sword". Modern versions of the katana are sometimes made using non-traditional materials and methods. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katana

The above information was from the Wiki page check it out if you like. I saw this name the other day when watching a show and the people went to a Japanese restaurant named Katana. I think the name looks pretty and has a strong meaning. Katana swords are unique and I've actually seen and handled one.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
