Japanese Female Names 



that the modern aristocratic yobina of two syl- 

 lables, as pronounced and explained, differ little 

 from ordinary yobina. But as written in 

 Chinese they differ greatly from other female 

 names, being in most cases represented by char-

 use of these more elaborate characters chiefly 

 accounts for the relatively large number of 

 homonyms to be found in the following
