Name Meaning Examination

Every name has a meaning and a story of its own. Look up your own name. You'll likely find it has an origin, meaning and history. Kaoru Orihara's name does as well. Therefore, I decided to see just what her name tells about her.

Deconstructing a Name

Orihara Kaoru is pronounced: Or-ree-hah-rah Kah-oh-roo

Kaoru-no-Kimi is pronounced: Kah-oh-roo no Kim-mee

Kanji to English: 薫の君 = Kaoru-no-Kimi

Japanese to English: 折原薫 = Orihara Kaoru

The name Kaoru, in Japan, is both masculine and feminine.

Hiragana to Rōmaji: おりはら かおる = Orihara Kaoru


Other Speculations:

Kaoru Orihara was given namesake of "Kaoru Udaisho-no-kimi". He was said to have a delightful fragrance that surrounded him since birth. Kaoru gives off the scent of sandalwood. Therefore, the translation to "Kaoru-no-kimi" is easily seen as "Prince Kaoru".

For her real name, the combination could be given rough translation. Orihara, for instance, could be seen as "field of opportunity". Add Kaoru to that and you could get "fragrant field of opportunity". Try the other meanings of "ori" and one could get "fragrant field of occasion" or "fragrant field of time". This case is all speculation on my behalf.

Kabalarian Theory

The Kabalarian Philosophy on the name Kaoru:

Although the name Kaoru creates the urge to be creative and original, we point out that is causes frustration through a scattered and emotional nature. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and in tension or accidents to the head.

Your first name of Kaoru has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. As you are naturally talkative, you find it easy to meet and make friends with many people. This name inclines you to be sympathetic and generous to those in difficult or unfortunate circumstances.

You can be firm, positive, and independent in your own ideas and in reaching your own decisions, yet when it comes to taking action or following things through to completion, you often need encouragement. You respond quickly to kind words or any appreciation shown you. There are artistic, creative abilities in this name that you could express through music or singing, or, in a practical way, through sewing or interior decorating.
