What if Anime Characters (Especially Japanese) have Chinese, Korean, and English names – Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End ver. (Part 2)
Those kanji names can be translated into Hanzi (Chinese) and Hangeul (Korean) based on en.wiktionary.org
Remember, this is only for Japanese characters, not Western (like Vampires) characters. Also, their Chinese will be written with Chinese Simplified instead of Chinese Traditional to make it sound like in Mainland China.
This time, it's the civil ones like Hyakuya orphans and Shinoa Squad's sisters time.
24. Akane Hyakuya (百夜 茜)
Etymology: Akane's kanji name (茜) means "deep red, dye from the rubia plant". Meanwhile, Akane’s true last name, Iida「飯田」= 飯 (Ii) means "food" and 田 (ta/da) means "field, rice paddy".
Chinese Name: 百夜茜 (Bǎiyè Qiàn) → If he has a Chinese name, I'll name her 白茜 (Bái Qiàn).
* Birth Chinese Name: 饭田 茜 (Fàntián Qiàn) → If she has a Chinese name, I'll name her 范茜 (Fàn Qiàn).
* Korean Name: 벡야 천 (Baekya Cheon) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name her 벡천 (Baek Cheon).
* Birth Korean Name: 반전 천 (Banjeon Cheon) → If he has a Korean name, I'll name her 범천 (Beom Cheon) due to match her Chinese/Hanja name.
* English Name: Based on her kanji name meaning, I'll name her Ruby because it derived from some red dye from the plant name Rubia, but to make it simple I only use Ruby instead of Rubia (Idk why, but it will sound like Arabic for me). Also, Ruby is a red-color gemstone. So, her English name is Ruby Hyakuya/Ruby Iida.
25. Chihiro Hyakuya (百夜 千尋)
Etymology: Chihiro's Kanji name (千尋) =千 (Chi) means "thousand"; while尋 (Hiro) means “search, seek, fathom.”
Chinese Name: 百夜千寻 (Bǎiyè Qiānxún) → If she has a Chinese name, I'll name her 白千寻 (Bái Qiānxún).
Korean Name: 벡야 천심 (Baekya Cheonshim) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name her 벡천심 (Baek Cheonshim).
English Name: Based on her kanji name meaning, I’ll name her Kendra because Kendra is a girl's name of British or possibly Celtic origin, meaning “knowing”, “the well-informed” from the Anglo-Saxon cenan, to teach and make known. The name has associations with knowledge and wisdom, and I think those meanings name are related to her kanji name which means “Thousand searches” which means it has some association with intelligence (and don’t forget that her glasses attire makes her look like she is a smart girl). So, her English name is Kendra Hyakuya.
26. Kōta Hyakuya (百夜 香太)
Etymology: Kōta's Kanji name (香太) = 香 (Kou) means " fragrance, fragrant "; while太 (ta) means "thick, big."
Chinese Name: 百夜香太 (Bǎiyè Xiāngtài) → If she has a Chinese name, I'll name him 白香太 (Bái Xiāngtài).
Korean Name: 벡야향태 (Baekya Hyangtae) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name him 벡향태 (Baek Hyangtae).
English Name: Based on one of his kanji name meanings, I’ll name him Maximilian because Maximilian is from the Roman family name Maximilianus, derived from the Latin Maximus, which means "the greatest", just like 太 (ta). Also, I want to use a unique name that is not so common (It was also inspired by my step-cousin name). So, his English name is Maximilian Hyakuya (Max).
27. Ako Hyakuya (百夜 亜子)
Etymology: Ako's Kanji name (亜子) = 亜 (A) means "second, Asia, rank, follow"; while子 (ko) means “child.”
Chinese Name: 百夜亜子 (Bǎiyè Yàzi) → If she has a Chinese name, I'll name her 白亜子 (Bái Yàzi).
Korean Name: 벡야아자 (Baekya Ahja) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name her 벡아자 (Baek Ahja).
English Name: Based on her kanji name meaning, I’ll name her Talitha because Talitha is a girl's name of Aramaic origin that means “little girl.” In the Bible, Jesus is believed to have brought a young girl back to life by uttering the phrase “talitha cumi.” So, her English name is Talitha Hyakuya (Tata).

* Korean Name: 벡야문회 (Baekya Moonhoe) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name her벡문회 (Baek Moonhoe).
* English Name: Based on her kanji name meaning (at least close to), I’ll name her Veronica. Veronica in Greek and Latin means “she who brings victory”, and “true image”. So, her English name is Veronica Hyakuya (Vero).

30. Mahiru Hīragi (柊 真昼)
Etymology: Mahiru's Kanji name (真昼) = 真 (Ma) means " true, real, genuine"; while 昼 (hiru) means “day, daytime.” So, Mahiru (真昼) means “midday”. Her name's meaning seems juxtaposed and foiled with Shinya’s. No wonder, why they are engaged as the couple even though it was too forced.
Chinese Name: 柊真昼 (Zhōng Zhēnzhòu) → If she has a Chinese name, I'll name her 钟真昼 (Zhōng Zhēnzhòu).
Korean Name: 종 진주 (Jong Jinju) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name her 종진주 (Jong Jinju).
English Name: Based on her kanji name meaning (at least close to), I’ll name her Helena. Helena, a Greek girl's name, means "shining light" and is a variant of the names Eleanor and Helen. So, her English name is Helena Hīragi.
31. Mirai Kimizuki (君月 未来)
Etymology: Mirai's Kanji name (未来) = 未 (Mi) means “the Sheep, the eighth of the twelve Earthly Branches”; 来 (rai) means “next, coming, arriving.” But if they are combined, Mirai (未来) means "future."
Chinese Name: 君月未来 (Jūnyuè Wèilái) → If she has a Chinese name, I'll name her 君未来 (Jūn Wèilái).
Korean Name: 군월 미래 (Goonwol Mirae) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name her 군 미래 (Goon Mirae).
English Name: Based on her Kanji name meaning, I have difficulty finding some English/Western name that means “future”, the average of the names that mean “future” are of Asian origin. So, I decided to use Hope which at least has nearly the same meaning and has an association with the “future” as the wish for a better future. The name Hope is also a neutral gender name. So, her English name is Hope Kimizuki.
32. Tomoe Saotome (早乙女 巴)
Etymology: Tomoe’s Kanji name (巴) = 与 (Yo) means "Turning" or "Circular", a circular design resembling swirling water, a comma or an archer's bow, the comma-shaped design used in Japanese art and architecture.
Chinese Name: 早乙女巴 (Zǎoyǐnǚ Bā) → If she has a Chinese name, I'll name her 赵女巴 (Zhào Nǚbā) since there is no meaning of 巴 (Bā), so I use Saotome’s last Kanji word name, 女 (me) as her given name alongside 巴 (Bā) to be 女巴 (Nǚbā).
Korean Name: 조을여파(Joeulyeo Pa) → If she has a Korean name, I'll name her 조여파 (Jo Yeopa) so it’ll match with Yoichi’s Korean name 여일 (Yeo-il).
English Name: Since I can’t find the meaning name of her kanji name (even though there is no meaning of it actually), I’ll name her Tamara. Tamara is a feminine Arabic name meaning “date palm” or “date.” Derived from the Biblical name Tamar meaning “date” or “palm tree,” this sweet moniker is symbolic of the beauty and fruitfulness associated with this tree. Also, I want to match her nickname English name Tammy with Yoichi’s, Timmy, since I have a church friend whose name is Tamara with her younger brother whose name is Timothy too. With so, her English name is Tamara Saotome (Tammy).
