■ About Surname Origin Net

According to the "Nihon Myojin Daiziten" by the surname researcher and literary doctor Kinji Nawa, the number of surnames in Japan is slightly less than 300,000.

There are various ways to count surnames, such as counting each differently structured name individually (e.g., "Ito," "Ito," etc.) as 1 or counting different readings of the same name under one count. In the case of "Ito," variations like "Ito, Ifuji" would still count as 1.

Among the approximately fewer than 300,000 surnames, surname origin net covers over 99.54% of the total Japanese population and boasts the largest information volume regarding "surname origins" in the app category.

※ The method of surname counting in this app is based on our own analysis of "national telephone directory data."
