Data sources & licences
This page lists the data sources and open-source licences used by the name converter.
01
Japanese kanji reading data
The Japanese on-reading map is derived from KANJIDIC2, maintained by EDRDG. NameFerry extracts Japanese on-readings, removes duplicates and sorts entries by character. The derived reading data remains under CC BY-SA 4.0; that data licence does not cover the rest of the NameFerry application code.
02
Open-source software
Chinese variant conversion uses opencc-js/OpenCC, Pinyin uses pinyin-pro, Kana romanisation uses WanaKana, and the site is built with Astro. All permit commercial use. Complete copyright and licence texts are available below.
