What does the name Taka mean in Japanese?

Answer 1

In names, it could mean tall or honorable.

But it depends on the characters used.

For example:

貴 (taka) "valuable, noble" or 孝 (taka) "filial piety"

it can also be written like this:

太 (ta) "thick, big" + 花 (ka) "flower"

Answer 2

Takashi means 'praiseworthy; fillial official'.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure there isn't an "Joshua" in Japanese.

Answer 4

高橋 is a common family name, and too much meaning should not be put into the meaning of the individual characters, which are 'high' or 'tall', and 'bridge'.
