Re: Names with several origins?
in reply to a message by Rene
Kane (two-syllable pronunciation) does indeed exist as a Japanese female name. It is also used as a base in the names Kaneko, Kanemi and Kaneyo. No, it's not particularly common and certainly has not the remotest connection to the English name Kane except that the spellings coincide.
