Comments for the name Kaede

This name is also sometimes used as a masculine name, like the character in the Japanese manga "Slam Dunk", Kaede Rukawa.

This name is used in the Manga series Inuyasha. The name bearer is an old woman (priestess) who resides in the village.

I like this name and only heard of it in Japanese animes or manga. One very popular anime that has a character "Kaede" is Inu-Yasha. In this show, Kaede was an old lady/priestess that had priestess powers and was very skilled when it came to identifying plants with healing properties.

Kaede seems to be used a lot in different anime/manga. Along with the above listed, it is also the name of a minor character in the mangs "Negima! Magister Negi Magi."

I've met ONE man whose daughter's name was Kaede (sounds like Kai-day with the ai being phonetic like eye) and it's a very nice name.

One thing about anime/manga is you have to be careful not to confuse cartoon with reality because people sometimes make things up for cartoons and use rare names for effect, though some of the names are also fairly common in Japanese. Just be careful how much you base your perspective of Japanese society on manga.

I believe this is pronounced "kai-EI-dei".

In the book "Across the Nightgale Floor" Kaede is one of the main characters. The book is very good, I recommend everyone to read it.

Across the Nightinggale Floor is a great book! Another Kaede is the character from the movie "Ran" directed by Akira Kurosawa, although it would be a bit weird to name a kid after her.

Pronounced kah-eh-deh.

I used this name for a character in a story. Her mother (who shares the same taste as me, hahaha) didn't know how to pronounce it so said "KAYD," and then looked it up and decided KAYD sounds better than kai-EH-da, so she kept the pronunciation. :)

This is also the name of a character in the anime/manga Elfen Lied. It is only in the manga, and it is the true name of the character Lucy.

Pronounced kah-eh-day.

Shinobu's friend from Ninin ga Shinobuden.

I met a girl in summer school whose name was Kaede and had just come from Japan and she pronounced it (KAY-DEE) like Katy. So for the entire 2 weeks I thought her name was Katy.

Beautiful name, it actually looks like a modern spelling of Katy/Katie. Japanese names are so cool!

I think this name is gorgeous; I prefer the Japanese pronunciation Kah-eh-deh. I loved the character in Across The Nightingale Floor. It's a nickname for my character; due to the fact her hair is the colour of maple syrup. Kaede- lovely!

Kaede is the other personality of Kaere Kimura in Sayonara Zestubou Sensei.

Kaede Fuyou is the childhood friend of the main character in the anime/visual novel series Shuffle! She's considered somewhat insane later on in the series, as she portrays a yandere persona.

I have a love hate relationship with this name. Love because its cool and have a nice old sound to it. But hate because it reminds me of the old priestess in Inuyasha with the eye patch.

Can someone plz help me with the pronunciation of Kaede.

At first I thought it was an alternative spelling of Cade, but I love to see that it's an actual name. It's very cool, mysterious and sophisticated. I prefer it on a girl when pronounced the Japanese way. I like it on a boy too, pronounced Cade
