What is the word 'o-namae' when translated from Japanese to English?

Answer 1

名前 (namae) is the Japanese word for 'name'. There is a specific way of formalizing nouns in Japanese when you are either talking to a superior or someone you do not know all that well by adding either お (o) or ご (go) to the front of the word. The prefix you add is entirely dependent upon the word, but in general お is used in front of words that use Japanese pronunciation and ご is used in front of words that use Chinese pronunciation. So　お名前 (o-namae) is a formalized way of saying name.
