Best 100+ Female Anime Character Names of All Time (2023)

Anime not only has beautiful designs for its characters but it also has some of the best names. Names often signify a certain trait of the characters and sometimes even tease a certain turning point for their owners. Today, we’ll be talking about names of female characters and list the best 100+ female anime character names of all time

Names of characters are sometimes associated with the themes or roles of the characters. For example, “taiga” is the Japanese word for “tiger” which is used as a motif for Taiga Aisaka’s character in Toradora!. Another example of this is Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon. “Usagi” means “rabbit” and “tsukino” means “moon”. In Japanese culture, rabbits are often associated with the moon.

Some names also have a dark meaning to them, which also in a way relate to the character. Like Mei Misaki from Another. Her first name “mei” means “to cry” or “to scream” or “to sing” in Japanese. The dark name goes well with the bleak atmosphere of the horror series.

But not all names chosen here for the list are because of their hidden meanings. Some names just sound good and cute and match the character well. Like Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura whose name perfectly matches her theme color: pink. There’s also Erza Scarlet whose name contains the color of her hair.

The names from the isekai anime, however, don’t have much hidden behind them. They are made up in most cases and give a fantasy-like feeling to the characters. Famous anime girls like Megumin, Ais, Rem, and many more.

Now that we’ve discussed character names to an extent, we’ll now be proceeding towards our list of the best 100+ female anime character names. For this list, we’re taking female characters from some major and popular anime and some lesser-knowns. This is how it looks:
