JMdict 1531710

In a sentence

お名前(なまえ)nameは?

What is your name?

How it works

A clipped, polite question. お ((polite prefix)) dresses up 名前(なまえ) (name) to sound courteous, and は (topic) raises it as the topic — “as for your name…”. The verb and copula are simply left off; the trailing は (topic) plus a rising tone is enough to ask “what is it?”.
