name
Ming Ming's
name isn't Japanese, naturally her name would be pronounced as 'Mingu Mingu'
to be accurate to the Roman alphabet. But to make it easier for the Japanese
to pronounce it and spell in Kanji it's pronounced as 'Min Min', and spelt
ミンミン (Katakana) or みんみん (Hiragana). However it'll be spelt in Katakana
because it's a foreign word (Hiragana is used for national words).
'Ming' has a
similarity to the Chinese character 明, meaning 'bright' and made up of the
two characters spelling 'Sun' (Ri) and 'Moon' (Yue). Chinese is the only
origin I can find 'Ming' in, and hell does 'bright' suit her on many
different levels; colourful, intelligence, cheerfulness. But then again
'Ming' is also written as 铭 for 'engrave'.
Her name is the
same in all the Beyblade dubs. And, no, her family name isn't Love. As nice
and fitting as it sounds, Ming Ming Love has never been officially stated as
her full name. |
