Meaning | Different meanings depending on the kanji used |
The given name Zenji is written with various combinations of two kanji, the first read zen and the second ji (including cases where the kanji is originally read as si or chi but becomes ji due to the rendaku rule of Japanese phonology). The zen used in all the names listed below (善) means "goodness".[1]
Separately, Zenji (禅師) is a title for Zen masters, placed after their mononymous dharma name. In such cases (for example, Dōgen Zenji), it is neither a given name nor surname.[2]
