I wonder if you can help me for this issue.
I wanna make an OC as a werewolf and I'm looking for a last name that means wolf.
I searched and I found Ookami. I don't know if Tsukinami means wolf or not but is there another word in Japanese that means wolf or related to wolf and I can use it as a name or last name?
The direct translation of the word 'wolf' would be 'ookami', but Japanese characters (kanji) have multiple ways in which they can be pronounced. The alternative reading for 'ookami' is 'rō', like in the word 'jinrō' which means 'Werewolf'
If I were you, I would try looking for another concept which can be associated with your OC and then combine this with the character for Wolf to make their last name. :3 If you want, I can help you with the readings.
This is just my personal opinion, but simply calling them 'Ookami' would be a little generic imo. (This is not meant to be rude btw, just my honest opinion!!)
