According to a survey, the most common names for children born this year were "lotus" (ren), which represents the plant "hasu" for boys, and "tsumugi" (tsumugi), which represents a type of silk fabric for girls. The results are organized.
"Lotus" is the most common for boys
This survey is conducted annually by Meiji Yasuda Life based on information on insurance policyholders, and this time around 17,000 names were targeted.
According to it, the most common name notation for boys' names was the Chinese character "lotus", which stands for "hasu" in plants.
The next most common name was ▽ "Haruto" or "Hinato", which is a combination of the "sun" of the sun and the "sho" of flight.
For girls, "Tsumugi" is the first to top
The most common girl was the Chinese character "Tsumugi," which stands for a type of silk fabric, and became the top for the first time since the survey began.
Next, the name was read as "Himari" or "Hinata" by combining the "yang" of the sun and the "aoi" of the plant.
On the other hand, in terms of how to read the names, boys had the most "Haruto" for 13 consecutive years, followed by "Minato", followed by "Riku".
For girls, "Mei" was the most common, followed by "Mio", followed by "Tsumugi".
The names of the active athletes of the Tokyo Olympics and Para Olympics have greatly improved.
In addition, since the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics were held this year, Daiki Hashimoto, a gymnast who won the gold medal, and Jun Mizutani, who has the same reading as table tennis, are named after the players who played an active role. However, it means that the name has greatly improved.
According to the company surveyed, "Amid the prolonged corona sickness, many Chinese characters were used in the top-ranked names to remind us of the importance of connections between people and their health and strength."
