"名前" meaning in Japanese

See 名前 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [na̠ma̠e̞] Forms: 名前 [canonical] (ruby: (), (まえ)), namae [romanization], namafe [romanization], なまへ [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: Derived from 名 (na, “name”) + 前 (-mae, front). Compare the semantics of Latin praenomen. Appears as a term only in the last few centuries, becoming more widely used during the Meiji period. Similarity to English name and other Indo-European words derived from *h₁nómn̥ is coincidental.
