初潮(初経)は英語でmenarcheと言います。月経が英語でmenstruationなので、それに「初めての」という意味の-archeがついてmenarcheというわけです。
同様に、精通(第二次性徴の時期を迎えた男性に初めて射精が起こること)はspermacheと言います。
同様に初めての(-arche)、性交(coitus)のことは、coitarcheと言います。

The slang terms for menarche (a girl’s first menstruation) tend to vary widely depending on region, culture, and personal preferences. Some common slang expressions include:
General Slang Terms:
- “Starting your period”: A straightforward phrase that is widely understood and gender-neutral.
- “Getting your first period”: Another neutral and commonly used term.
- “Becoming a woman”: Often used to signify the transition into womanhood, although it’s considered outdated or overly simplistic in many contexts.
- “The curse”: An older slang term that some people use humorously or with a negative connotation.
- “Getting the red badge” or “Red visitor”: Refers to the color of menstrual blood, used playfully.
Slang Specific to Menarche:
Menarche-specific slang terms are relatively rare, as most slang about menstruation focuses on periods in general rather than the first occurrence. However, some expressions might include:
- “Joining the club”: Referring to the shared experience of menstruation among people who menstruate.
- “Aunt Flo’s first visit”: A lighthearted reference to the beginning of menstrual cycles.
- “Getting the red letter”: Another reference to the first arrival of menstruation.
- “Hitting the cycle”: Slang referring to starting menstrual cycles for the first time.
In contrast to coitarche, which has more direct and varied slang, menarche tends to be described with euphemisms or phrases that address menstruation as a whole.
