It can be used for anything, like mountains or temples. Azana is used specifically for people. 0:00 Full Name 0:45 Ujina and Myōji - Clan Names 4:21 Imina and Jitsumei - First Name 5:59 Tsūshō - Public Name 7:31 Kabane - Useless 8:10 Name Order NEED FOOD =) 🔸PATREON (blog, art): https://www.patreon.com/Linfamy 🔸MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/Linfamy/join 🔸MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/linfamy (shirts, stickers, phone cases, and more!) 🔸DONATE: https://www.paypal.me/Linfamy RECOMMENDED 🔸History of Japan (ALL): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATnFsFRnRsI&list=PLOWnSFzV-C9ZQS70LRfOpQodtb8oogcEs 🔸Japanese Folktales (ALL): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngNvakLYNto&list=PLOWnSFzV-C9ZR-2VPUKaMordQkrJzZcyG 🔸The Kamakura Period (Japan 1185 - 1333): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dql4zmbw_gM&list=PLOWnSFzV-C9bk9tt8CtfNzb8OsQy-DAPK 🔸Sexuality in Medieval Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl0m3pm5SCo&list=PLOWnSFzV-C9Yi1N1cZ_u2v-ed5tNeBXaK 🔸Japanese Mythology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htyHPh1KSvQ&list=PLOWnSFzV-C9YmtK5BVbB7u5DhkYYj1s0W 🔸Legendary Weapons of Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_0n4OSxiIQ&list=PLOWnSFzV-C9ZtZWqaNGFqpDYD42pU_Tqv SOCIAL 🔸Discord (community chat): https://discord.gg/tub8PzX 🔸Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/linfamy 🔸Twitter: http://twitter.com/linfamie SOURCES 🔸 https://www.jstor.org/stable/44479139 🔸 https://sengokudaimyo.com/japanese-names 🔸 https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/5741ww/why_did_japanese_historical_figures_change_their/ 🔸 https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/4mphs5/why_did_some_daimyos_change_their_names_during/ WHAT I USE TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS 🎤Microphone: https://amzn.to/2Xgq2Ca 🖥Drawing Tablet: https://amzn.to/2NhYQ1b 📸Camera: https://amzn.to/2BL03tr 💻Software: https://amzn.to/2EkIOki ⚙The rest: https://kit.com/Linfamy/animator-s-kit DISCLAIMER: This description contains affiliate links.
