japanese names, what do they mean.

[bluemercury]

i am watching an old sub of GTO and i started to wonder what some of the name mean. a few years ago when i ferst got in too watching anime, when i was hunting wallpaper for the one i was watching at the time i came across a page that gave me the meainings of the names of the characters. i found it rather intesting. so after all these past months weeks and years, i was wondering if anyone was wondering about this or new of a way to find out. pardon my spelling im at the bodem of a bottle of screch, so its the best i can do at the molment.

I'm a japanese, lets use my name as a example
My name is Kenshi Yokota
In kanji it will be written 横田　健至
Each kanji has a certain meaning
健 means healthy
至 means to reach something
So my name means something like "to reach something while staying healthy"
I hope that "something" is something good
