My name

My last name is Yoshizato. Yoshi means lucky and sato means village, countryside and family home. Both yoshi and sato are Japanese reading. Their Chinese readings are kichi and ri. The national ranking of Yoshizato is 49,767th. Yoshizato is one of rare names in Japan. I think there is no famous people whose name is Yoshizato.
I have ever seen the family crests at my grandfather’s grave before. It was two lines in the circle. I think it is the family crest of my family. However, the family crest of Yoshizato is basically a Japanese plum because Yoshizato came from Sugawara. Sugawara is one of 5 big Japanese name in ancient Japan.
My first name, Narisa, means Southern beautiful sand. My father is from a Southern country, Thailand, so he wanted to give me a name which describes it. Narisa is easy to say for people who speak English, and it is natural in Japan. Also, there are people whose names are Narisa in Thailand. The second kanji of my first name is usually read rei or uruwashii in Japan. Mine, ri, is real Chinese reading.
I could not find someone who has the same name as mine in Japan because Narisa is also rare. I could find only Narisa Chakrapongse. She is concerned with the Thai Royal family. She is a granddaughter of Lama fifth. Lama fifth was a Thai king.
My nicknames are Nari, Nari chan, Naripy, Narichi and Narilyn Monroe. Most of people call me Narisa or Nari. Serena, one of my sisters, calls me Naripy and some of my high school friends call me Narichi. I usually use Narilyn on the internet. Narilyn sounds like Marilyn, so I like it.
Now, I am going to introduce my brother and sisters’ names. Their names are Serena, Yurina, Haruna, Emina and Koyo. Serena means Southern quiet jewels. Yurina means Southern sweet melody. Haruna means Southern spring. Emina means shiny light in the South and Koyo means leaf of light. All girls have kanji of minami.
I like my own name, so I would like to tell my parents thank you.
