    Au Ra Raen name generator translation

    Can anyone translate the names in the name generator for the female Au Ra Raen? Some of the the forenames were easy to search for translations, but Ive had lots of difficulty with the meanings of the surnames.

    Protip: when naming your character, there is a small button with a die on it that will generate a random name that falls within the race / tribe / sex conventions.

    Just adding a few guesses. Remember that stylistically they have chosen to represent all long vowel sounds as short ones, so this could greatly expand the number of possibilities. For example, rather than 'book' the name Tosho could be Toushou 刀匠 (swordsmith) or even something more poetic. As they seem to be mostly occupational and geographical names, I feel this would fit better.

    The perils of trying to translate names without having the 'original' spellings.

    Kaisuri 貝磨 A kind of crafter who traditionally works with seashells.
    Shibunuri 渋塗 Another craft-related name, as lololink suggested it's based on a traditional varnishing technique.

    Benitoki could have several meanings; 'beni' is almost certainly from 紅 ('crimson') but there are various possibilities for the 'toki' including a type of bird. 'Benitoki' is also an old fashioned type of rouge.
