#乃

[daily-hyosatsu]

A first name today! Well, technically it's a bar's name, but 紫乃 is also a given name, usually for women, usually read Shino or Shina, possibly(?) Yukarino.

紫 means purple or violet. It's read むらさき or シ.

The bottom radical is 糸 silk/thread—remember how it's commonly used in colors? The top is 此, which archaically means "this one." We covered it a bit with 柴 brushwood/Shiba, which looks similar to this character but uses 木 tree as the bottom radical instead.

乃 can mean from, whereupon, or accordingly. It's read の, すなわ.ち, なんじ, ナイ, ダイ, ノ, or アイ. Yes, it has no as both a kun-yomi and an on-yomi! It's also the source of both kana の and ノ. It's how people used to write the possessive particle -の (meaning apostrophe+s).

Not a human name but look at this calligraphy from the liquor store! It says 月乃井 or Tsuki-no-I, literally, "the well of the moon." Which is a beautiful name for sake!

月 means moon or month (or Monday). It's read つき, ゲツ, or ガツ.

乃 is new to this blog! It's the source of both の and ノ. (It actually has no as both kun-yomi and on-yomi.) Its other readings are すなわ.ち, なんじ, ナイ, ダイ, or アイ. It can mean from, whereupon, or accordingly. Archaically, it's used as the possessive particle の, like it is here.

井 means well, or sometimes town or community. It's read い, セイ, or ショウ.
