Speaking4; My name

Hello, everyone. I’ll introduce my name. My name is Daisuke Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi is my family name. Yama means mountain, Guchi means mouth or tunnel. So I think Yamaguchi means entrance to a tunnel. Maybe my ancestor lived near by entrance to a tunnel. Yamaguchi is a general family name in Japan. There are about 150000 people with the name in Japan. The ranking of the name’s population is 14th in　Japan. There is a prefecture which name is Yamaguchi. Some people say “did you live in there,” but it doesn’t relate my name. Next, Daisuke is my first name. Dai means big, Suke means helping. I think these words mean assistance. This is my idea, I don’t know the Daisuke’s meaning. But I heard it related great person’s name and the occurrence’s day. The day is my birthday. His birthday relates my first name. There are many Yamaguchi Daisuke around me. In fact, I know persons who name are Yamaguchi Daisuke. Two person’s ‘kanji’ are different from my ‘kanji’, but another one’s ‘kanji’ is same with my ‘kanji’. He is the head of my cram school. Next, there are some great persons with my name. For example, Daisuke Matsuzaka is major league’s baseball player. Another person is Daisuke Takahashi. He is a figure skater. I have two nicknames. One name is Dai-chan. When I was a elementary, junior high school student, my friends called it. Another one is Yamagu. Some my university’s friends call this name. Thank you for your reading.
