93 Japanese Baby Girl Names Starting With Letter K

Japanese first names or given names are known as ‘shita no namae’ and are chosen at the birth of the baby. Usually, Japanese names comprise two kanji and the same applies to Japanese girl names starting with K. These two kanji carry the meanings of the name. The kanji could represent certain characteristics like beauty, intelligence, and kindness. It could also be inspired by flower names, seasons, or any other natural phenomena. Sometimes, these kanji also signify the order of birth. A few examples of K-letter Japanese names for girls that display these meanings are Kairy, meaning ‘sea,’ Kayori, meaning ‘graceful,’ ‘delight,’ or ‘charming,’ and Kirika, meaning ‘summer,’ ‘fog, ‘flower,’ or ‘incense.’

It is important to note that some Japanese names have similar pronunciations, but that does not mean they are written with the same kanji. Another important feature of Japanese names is that the first names are always written after the surname or family name. Our comprehensive list will help you discover your favorite Japanese names and learn their meanings.
