Okinawan name Explanation: I'm not sure, but both of these closely resemble some Okinawan names that i've seen, for example, "Gushiken". Also, the use of Katakana would seem to make sense since quite a few Okinawan names don't use kanji. I'll see if i can find some additional info to back this up. HTH. |
