Etymology[edit]
From Literary Chinese 臺與 (OC *dɯː laʔ).
The original pronunciation remains uncertain; however due to possibly a naming taboo in ancient China, a variant 壹 (shinjitai 壱) is also attested in the historical record, therefore the name can also be read as Iyo.
Proper noun[edit]
- (historical) a semi-legendary queen of 邪馬台国 (Yamatai-koku, “Yamatai”) who, according to tradition, was Himiko's successor
