Name meaning
What could his name mean? Setsuna = moment/short-lived(?); Take = violent/warrior; Maru = circle/whole thing. Could this mean "short-lived [human] warrior"? Ryoga (talk)  12:22, March 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Setsuna can be meant a moment or short moment, can be translated both. No means of or 's, Take means fierce or violent, Maru means circle. Sango 珊瑚 (The demon exterminator) 10:38, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese often add 'Maru' this word after the name, usually used by males. ==" Sango 珊瑚 (The demon exterminator) 10:43, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Since maru is used as a surname by males, does his name mean "short-lived fierce man" or something like that? Ryoga (talk)  12:17, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

If you say so, that should be mean implied name meaning, not literal name meaning after all. For some reason the Japanese and Chinese names can be translated oddly, that's clearly show that they aren't normal words and should be categorized as people's names. My actual name also come out strange, my family name means 'mournful' and the rest means 'best best'. And yeah, Maru this word can't be consider as surname, it often placed at the back of names, just like Sesshomaru, Juromaru or Kageromaru. Those 3 characters don't have any surnames, just simply a name.

Note:Chinese names, Japanese names and Korean names only consist of family names and own names, the family names always situated at the front of own names. But English translation always change the position between the names.
