The Human Names masterpost
In fanfiction especially, many people like to use the human names. I also noticed that many people use the wrong names, pronounce these names wrong, donโt know how to pronounce them at all (Iโm looking at you Poland), or are just confused on human names in general. So here is a list of all the names officially confirmed in Hetalia. I will make another post for unofficial names another time. If you want something added or think I forgot something, feel free to tell me.ย NOTE: No nyotalia names are officially confirmed by Himaruya.ย

Character: Russia Name: Ivan Braginsky (ะะฒะฐะฝ ะัะฐะณะธะฝัะบะธะน) Pronunciation: ee-vahn brag-in-skee Misconceptions: This name is mispronounced as Eye-van constantly.

Character: Lithuania Name: Tolysย Laurinaitis Pronunciation: Toh-lees Lor-in-eye-tis Misconceptions: The most disputed romanji mistranslation ever. Since the L is nonexistant in the Japanese language, many think his name is Toris. Toris isnโt a real nameโฆanywhere. It is a dog name though. Tolys, however, is a real Lithuanian name. I believe it was just lost in translation.ย Extra info: Oh boyโฆglad thatโs over. (Oh no Polandโs nextโฆ)
