Japanese surnames
Japanese surnames originated from the surname system in the 4th century. It was divided into the surname, surname, Miao character, and given name. The surname and surname were given titles, and the Miao character was a name for the blood group that was separated from the surname, which was the current surname. There were about 140,000 surnames in Japan. In addition to the top ten surnames such as Sato and Suzuki, there were also 100 surnames, 3,600 surnames, and rare and strange surnames. The members of the Japanese royal family had no surname because the emperor was revered as a "god" and was not subject to the household registration law. In 1870, Emperor Meiji issued the Decree of the Miao Character for Commoners, and commoners began to have surnames. Most Japanese surnames were composed of one to three Chinese characters, and a few had four Chinese characters. They had a wide range of origins. It was a major feature to use the place name as the surname. For example, people living at the foot of the mountain might use "Yamashita" or "Yamamoto" as the surname, and people living by the water field might call it "Tanaban". There were also many surnames that ended with the word "village", such as Nishimura, Okamura, etc. These surnames were originally derived from the place name or village name. There were also some influential surnames in Japan that had been passed down from ancient times to the present, such as Genji, Fujiwara, Taira, Tachibana, etc. These surnames were related to nobility and power in history. In addition, there were special ancient surnames like " my grandson " in Japan. Moreover, among Japanese family members, the son inherited his father's surname, the wife inherited her husband's surname, and the man inherited his wife's surname. However, after World War II, the new civil law stipulated that both husband and wife could take their husband's surname or their wife's surname according to their premarital agreement. However, most traditional women still took their husband's surname after marriage.

Japanese Surnames
Japanese surnames originated from the surname system in the 4th century, which was divided into surname, surname, Miao character, and first name. Both the surname and the surname were conferred titles. The surname was a clan formed by people with the same blood relationship or the same occupation. The Miao word was a name for a blood group that had the same ancestor, which was also the current surname. After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government implemented the Household Registration Law. In order to register household registration and fabricate household registration, civilians were allowed to have surnames. However, the Emperor and the royal family were not under the jurisdiction of the Household Registration Law and had no surnames according to the Royal Model. In the family relationship, the son inherited the father's surname, the wife inherited the husband's surname, and the man inherited the wife's surname, and they could not be changed at will. Because of the wide range of surnames, people with the same surname might not necessarily be related by blood.

Ryukyu 36 surnames changed to Japanese surnames
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the decline of national strength, the Qing Dynasty could no longer protect the safety of Ryukyu. In 1876, Japan coerced Ryukyu to cut off contact with the Central Plains Dynasty. In 1880, the United States participated in Japan's attempt to make the Qing Dynasty sign the "Island Division Agreement". Although the Qing Dynasty did not sign and did not recognize Japan's sovereignty over Ryukyu, Japan had actually controlled Ryukyu. The descendants of the local Lin family were forced to change their surnames to Japanese surnames, such as Niigaki. This was a reflection of the change in the surnames of the Ryukyu people during the process of Ryukyu being controlled by Japan. During the Ming Dynasty, there were 36 Fujian surnames who moved to Ryukyu. Their descendants might also be forced to change their surnames. This reflected the oppression that the Ryukyu people suffered under the Japanese invasion and control at that time. Their culture and identity were forcibly changed. However, the sovereignty of Ryukyu was still uncertain. There were still Ryukyu people who hoped to return to the Chinese family. They had their own national cultural identity and were not willing to be forced to assimilate.

Abiko translated into Chinese was " my grandson," but the original meaning of this surname was not literal. In addition, Japanese surnames originated from the surname system in the 4th century. It was divided into surname, surname, Miao character, and first name. Miao character developed into the current surname.

The Origin of Japanese Surnames
Japanese surnames originated from the surname system in the 4th century, which was divided into surname, surname, Miao character, and name. The surname and surname were both conferred. The surname was a tribe composed of people with the same blood relationship or the same occupation. In ancient Japan, the surname was named according to the position held by the clan in the imperial court or the place where they lived or governed. For example, the Kibe clan corresponding to the Kibe clan in charge of the sacrificial department, the Izumo clan and the Omi clan that ruled the Izumo and Omi regions. In ancient times, the surname was a title given to the surname to indicate the social and political status of the surname. It was similar to the title of nobility and hereditary. There were dozens of kinds such as minister, Lian, Jun, Zhi, etc. The ranks of each surname were clear. In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Miao character appeared. The Miao character was a new surname after a family separated from the main clan. In ancient times, the surname, surname, and Miao characters were part of the names of nobles. For example,"Tengyuan's courtier's nine-word combination", Tengyuan was the surname, courtier's surname, nine-word combination was the Miao character, and combination was the name. Before the Meiji Restoration, only nobles and samurai could have surnames. The most respected surnames were the Yuan, Ping, Teng, and Tachibana. Teng referred to Fujiwara, and the Fujiwara family's Bei family was the most respected. The ministers and regents were mostly children of the Fujiwara family. The Yuan, Ping, and Tachibana surnames were all branches of the royal family. When the children of the royal family grew up, they divided their families to produce Miao characters. For example, the Fujiwara family had Miao characters such as Kujo, Eagle Division, and Sister Path; the Taira family had Miao characters such as Hojo, Chiba, and Nagao; and the Genji family had Miao characters such as Kiseng, Takeda, and Ashikaga. In the middle of the 7th century, after the great revolution, the surname and surname were mixed into one, and some became the current surname. However, the surname was still exclusive to the aristocrats. In the 19th century, the surname was also limited to warriors, merchants, and powerful people in the village. After the Meiji Restoration (1868), the law stipulated that all citizens must have surnames. In 1870, the Meiji government decided to let civilians have the right to choose their surnames. At first, the people were not enthusiastic, and the government enforced it. Commoners have a wide range of surnames, some of which are based on place names.(For example, the surnames Tanabe, Tanaka, Fujita, Yoshida, Nonaka, Fujino, etc., who live around the rice fields; the surnames Hebin, Kawamoto, Ferry, Kawaguchi, Kawabata, Kawasaki, etc., who live by the river; the surnames Yamamoto, Yamashita, Yamanaka, Shanshan, Yamaguchi, etc., who live at the foot of the mountain; Some of them took their surnames according to their occupations (for example, those who raised dogs might take the surname Inu or Koinu), and the way they took their surnames was very casual. After the Household Registration Law was enacted in 1898, the surname of each household was fixed and could not be changed at will.

The Japanese changed their surnames
In Japan, there were many situations where surnames could be changed: - ** Status of naturalization **: When foreigners become naturalized in Japan, there are certain requirements for changing their surnames. If an American or someone from a non-Chinese cultural circle assimilated into Japanese, they would have to change their surname. This change of surname could be a simple transliteration of an English name into a pseudonym, or one could choose a Japanese surname. China surnames were generally commonly used in Japanese characters, so there was no need to change their surname unless they married a Japanese. - ** Marriage situation **: Japan implemented the system of husband and wife sharing the same surname. This system was the basic rule of the family system that had been passed down from the Meiji era to the present. Japanese Civil Law article 750 stipulated that after marriage, the husband and wife should use one of their surnames as the common surname after marriage. Although it did not rule out the situation of the husband taking the wife's surname, most of the time, the woman followed the man's surname. - ** Special circumstances **: Under normal circumstances, Japanese people are not allowed to change their names unless they win a lawsuit in court. Also, if the surname used Chinese characters, it must be from the existing list of Chinese characters. If it was not in the list, it had to be spelled with a pseudonym. In addition, there were two ways to play for naturalized European and American players. One was to directly use a pseudonym to translate, and the other was to use a similar pronunciation to make up the characters. The Chinese and Koreans could pretend to be Japanese, or they could add the Chinese character by asking their wife to change her surname.

The Origins of Japanese Surnames
Japanese surnames originated from the surname system in the 4th century. At that time, it was divided into the surname, surname, Miao character, and first name. The surname and surname were both bestowed. The surname was formed by people with the same blood relationship or the same occupation. The Miao character was separated from the surname and became the current surname. Before 1870, only nobles and samurai could have surnames. For example, the Yuan, Ping, Teng, and Tachibana were noble surnames in ancient times. The Fujiwara family had once controlled the government and divided into many branches.

In 1870, the Meiji government issued a decree to force civilians to take surnames. This was to facilitate household registration management, taxation, and service. Due to the low cultural level of the people at that time and the lack of attention to this, the method of taking surnames was very casual. There were mainly the following situations: 1. According to the living environment, for example, living on the side of the mountain may be named Yamamoto, Yamashita, etc.; living on the edge of the field may be named Tanaka, Tianbian, etc.; living on the riverside may be named Hebin, Kawaguchi, etc.; There may be pine trees near the house, pine trees, Matsushita, etc. 2. They were named according to their occupation, such as the surname of a dog owner. 3. They were named after the branches of the family. When the children of the big families grew up, they would be divided into different "Miao" characters. After the Household Registration Law was enacted in 1898, the surname of each household was fixed and could not be changed at will. In addition, there were foreign surnames in Japan, most of which originated from North Korea and China, such as Osato and Nagano.
