Explanation and Etymology - (姓名) seimei
The Japanese word 姓名 (せいめい, seimei) is composed of the kanji 姓 (sei) and 名 (mei). 姓 means "surname" or "family" and is used to indicate a person's lineage or ancestry. On the other hand, 名 means "name" or "nickname" and is used to indicate the name given to a person. Therefore, 姓名 can be translated as "full name" or "first and last name". The word has its origins in ancient Chinese, where ideograms were used to represent words and concepts. From the 5th century onwards, Japan began to adopt Chinese writing and, as a result, many Chinese words were incorporated into the Japanese vocabulary.How to Write in Japanese - (姓名) seimei
