Holy crap! I never noticed this!

[Haku no Fuyu]

Uzumaki = Naruto's last name
Uzumaki = Spiral

[ohpeekaboo]

uh naruto spirals because of the food 'naruto' put in ramen in japan.. that's why naruto likes ramen so much...

[Xollence]

[sangai]

for those intrested pakkun would be a pug (kakashi senpai) and they are pretty cool dogs


did anyone else notice all the doujutsus around oros place on the snakes head in the manga and then there on the currents in sasukes place

[Aegis Runestone]

Also, did you know that the hat that Oro is wearing in episode 26 or so has a tag on it which says "Evil" in Japanese? ^.^

[Haku no Fuyu]

Actually, Naruto is regional. Its named for the Naruto whirlpools.

[Assertn]

huh? no no, naruto means fishcake and uzumaki means swirl.....thus you have the fishcake swirl things that people put in ramen all the time

[Sensei_Kakashi]

interesting conversation...
does anybody elses names mean anything????[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

*all* names mean something. That's one of the coolest things how those Manga authors always come up with meaninful names. And a good reason to learn one word or two in Japanese, IMO.
Anyhow...Haku means white, Shikamaru has all these dealing with deers and Nara (city) is famous for deer, Kakashi means scarecrow and so on and so forth.
Go to bakasan, he has a link to a site called Paradise in Winter, with lots of name meanings, as well as many Japanese cultural traits that are in the anime.
Also, tons of Naruto sites with character bios have the meanings for the names...

huh? no no, naruto means fishcake and uzumaki means swirl.....thus you have the fishcake swirl things that people put in ramen all the time

I believe *both* of you guys are right...

Check this site for more meaning of names. A lot of other interesting explanations there as well.

Also note the site does have spoilers so you go at your own risk.

EDIT: According to her site,

Uzumaki Naruto

Uzumaki means whirlpool.
Naruto means a few things... First, it's a name of Ramen topping. It's made from fish paste, and standard one is white and with pink whirlpool. Naruto also is a name of city in Japan. The current near this place is so rapid and have a few different ones merges. So, a natural water whirlpool are observed near city of Naruto.

Sidenote: If someone thinks the info is wrong go argue with the site owner not me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Might not do you any good to argue though, she knows her stuff.

After watching her for a while, I'd say it can become a fast spreading allergy.

i dont know a lick of japanese...and even i remember that song. mostly because our band teacher in elementary school taught it to us...he never did say what it meant.

[Haku no Fuyu]

Its a song about Cherry blossoms.
My grandma used it as a lullaby when I was little. It's forever engraved on my forehead.

[lionheart1012000]

well i knew it was a song that had something to do with cherry blossoms. what i didnt know was what it meant...like uh...bleh i dont know how to explain it, my mind is completely messed up right now.

[Mut]
