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 

 acters of a complex and unfamiliar kind. The 

 use of these more elaborate characters chiefly 

 accounts for the relatively large number of 

 homonyms to be found in the following
