What konohamaru mean in Japanese?

"Shikamaru" is actually a name. "Shika" meaning "deer" and "maru" being a masculine ending for Japanese names makes up the meaning. "Nara" usually followed by "ba" means "if". The "ba" is in parenthesis in the Japanese to English dictionary, therefore it means that there are some cases where the "ba" is omitted, but it means the same thing. This is saying "If Shikamaru..." or "Shikamaru, if..." or something to that effect. However, if this was heard as "Nara Shikamaru" in the Japanese version of the anime "Naruto" then Nara is simply his last name, and depending on the Kanji associated with it, means something besides "if".

Nara is also the name of a city in Japan.
