<p>The title "Barakamon" means "cheerful/energetic person" (元気者) in the local provincial Gotou Island dialect (this seems to be the case with just about all the episode titles), where most of the series takes place, on one of the islands off the western coast of Kyushu. </p>

<p>The first episode of the anime is titled "ばらかこどん" (Baraka kodon, meaning "[a] cheerful/energetic kid"), which is obviously referring to Naru.</p>
