* The HighSchoolAU story ''Fanfic/KitsuneNoKenFistOfTheFox'' has this come up quite often with several characters, particularly those who are NamedByTheAdaptation, but it's not unheard of for characters whose names are the same as their canon counterparts. Some examples include:
** Guren, a minor character in the story's Gaiden chapters, is given the surname Hoseki, which is Japanese for "gem." It's a reference to her canon self's Crystal Release technique, but in this story (where there are no ninja powers), it can also be a reference to her kindhearted and understanding nature--basically, how she's like a ''gem'' in personality.
** Nigai, in canon, is a Kumo shinobi whose name literally means "bitter." In this story, he's a member of the Tiger Dragon gang who's also TheResenter toward the gang's leader Chi, leading to him being TheStarscream.
** Taiseki, who in canon is an Iwa shinobi, has a name that, according to the Naruto Wiki, is an irregular pronunciation of the Japanese term for "big stone," which is usually pronounced as "oishi." For this story, his surname is Oishi, he's got a LanternJawOfJustice which is described as looking "like it'd been chiseled off a rock," and he's a cop with a strong sense of justice.
** Ayame, who in this story is a waitress at Konoha Town's Burger Castle restaurant, has a name that means "iris," as in the plant, according to her canon Naruto Wiki entry. [[spoiler:The same entry says her name can also be translated as "to murder," depending on the kanji used. Both meanings are used in her code-name Death Iris, which she uses as an agent of the criminal syndicate LOVE]].
** According to the same Naruto Wiki, Iruka's name means "dolphin," and in the canon series' anime version he has echolocation abilities. In this fic, he's a cop who happens to be a good communicator, being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure toward Naruto in contrast to his police partner Ibiki's SympatheticInspectorAntagonist persona, and being [[GoodCopBadCop an effective Good Cop to Ibiki's Bad Cop]]. [[spoiler:Like Ayame, he's a double-agent for the LOVE syndicate, with the code-name "Dolphin" as his moniker]].

** {{Averted}} with Akiha Nara, whose name means autumn leaves and it just happened to be dawn (therefore, orange) when he was born. This foreshadows the fact Akiha is [[spoiler: Shibuimaru's son]] as the latter is stated to have not cared for his son one bit.
** Itachi calls his main crow summon Karasu, which is how "crow" is pronounced in Japanese. When Sakura encounters Karasu while he was spying on Sasuke for Itachi, she gets fond of it and [[MeaningfulRename names it Shi-chan]]. Shi means death in Japanese (and also four, but FourIsDeath), and -chan is an endearment Japanese honorific for pets and young children.
** Río means river in Spanish and points at her mastery of the Water Release techniques.
** All of Yuna's names throughout her life are ironic given her attitude. Yuna itself means kindness which the woman is but only for those she cares about, and even then is more like a rough love. [[spoiler: Rasna]] has two meanings: a ray of light (especially ironic considering the Suna shinobi who gave her the name also held her captive in the dark) and rope. It's possible the second alludes to [[spoiler: her status as the previous One-Tail host -- as in the rope that contains the beast]]. Finally, [[spoiler: Touka]] can be translated as "perfect scent/perfume". It's not like the woman stinks but it's a name far too delicate for a hardened, weary old woman like her.
