Comments :

Hello, Calcifer is not of Japanese origin, although the name was popularized by the Japanese film, Howls Moving Castle, the origin of the name comes from the novel written by Diane Wynne Jones of the same name that the film is based on. Jones is a British author, thus making the origins of the name British and not Japanese. The name doesnt even sound Japanese so that should be indication enough that it isn't. Have a good day. - Bo
