[LastReunion]

thank you for telling some of the meanings :D :)

[Wio]

Umm, where did you get these meanings?

Sado for sadism? You know that the SA is another reading of the kanji for CHA which means tea...

[Legend of the Twilight]

I'm pretty sure that's not what Ichigo means. Of course, I don't remember what it means anymore, but I'm pretty sure that's not it.

[Rivette]

Shinji means common. Hiyori means monkey. Orihime means weave princess. Yasutora means peaceful tiger. Ichigo means strawberry. That's all I know.

[Neddog]

Ichigo definitely means Strawberry, Legend. I'm guessing because he's a red head? Though Carrot-top would have been more appropriate. ;)

I knew Gin = Silver (what Gintama fan doesn't?), and Karin I believe can also mean Beautiful (or is that just Karen?).

[Heinekenrana]

I believe it can also mean "pure".

[IcePriestess]

I have gotten only full meanings of the word. Of course it can be translated differently. For example if you take two different characters from the world. Example: Ori and Hime.

[5thdivisionsoulreaper]

I thought in the anime Ichigo said he name can also mean one guardian.

[Shion Sonozaki]

Yes, but when they tranlsated "Kamataichi(in the figth where tis Uryu and Orihime vs Jiroubo--Jindanbo's brother)" in the anime it meant "the ultimate" and in the manag it meant "sickle weasel." So whomever translates Bleach may be lying to us fans. I know "ichigo" means strawberry "ichi" means "one" and "go" means "five."

"Hime" means "sister' I belive. I don't know about "ori." But does anyoen knwo the translation to "Uryu Ishida" or is it just a given name?

[Tatty Bojangles]

in many of the subs and even the offical sub and dub i can quote ichigo as saying his name meant

ichi- number one
go- protecter

so number one protecter

but yes ichigo also means strawberry which is the vizard Mashiro's nick name for him

(mishiro eing the eccentric green haired vizard XD)

[Shion Sonozaki]

I foudn the meanign for "Ishida."

Ishida - Stone, Rice Field

[Rem Nightfall]

Hime means princess...I thought.

[Tatty Bojangles]

hime does mean princess =/

[Shion Sonozaki]

Woops... My bad. Cause another translation for "My-Hime" is "My-Otome" and so I thought "otome" meant sister so I thought "Hime" meant sister. xDDD

[Paain]

i also read somewere that ichigo means "he who prtects"

[Tatty Bojangles]

muoujou

thats loosely correct ^^

[Shion Sonozaki]

i also read somewere that ichigo means "he who prtects"

[Tatty Bojangles]

yus it does akane

i believe in the earlier eps when itsygo has a flashyback

either episode 8: June 17: a memory of rain
or episode 10: Unbeatable Enemy

[Rem Nightfall]

Byakuya means Midnight sun...that is why I was weirded by white.

Haku means white....though I don't think there are any Hakus in bleach.

[Shion Sonozaki]

In episode 8 for sure! Memory of the rain 9I thougth ti was Memories in the Rain) means Grand Fisher which emans name translation and it also means me crying....

[Tatty Bojangles]

[ZeroFox]

I like most of the names. In a way they explain the character's traits.
