nodoka

Nodoka is a given name, primarily used as a female given name in Japan. It is often written with kanji that evoke a sense of peacefulness, quietness, or a gentle breeze. For example, it can be written with characters like 希 (hope, wish) and 暖 (warmth) or 菜 (greens, vegetables) and 乃 (a possessive particle, similar to 's). The exact meaning can vary depending on the specific kanji chosen by parents.

The name Nodoka is not particularly common but is recognizable and carries a pleasant, serene connotation. It is sometimes found in literature or popular culture, contributing to its gentle image. While predominantly a female name, it is not impossible for it to be used for males, though this is rare. The pronunciation remains consistent, typically "no-do-ka." Its usage reflects a preference for names with soft sounds and evocative imagery in Japanese naming conventions.
