Etymology[edit]
First attested in the 三国志 (Sangokushi, “Records of the Three Kingdoms”), derived from Literary Chinese 壹與 (OC *qlid laʔ).
The original pronunciation remains uncertain; however due to possibly a naming taboo in ancient China, a variant 臺 (shinjitai 台) is also attested in the historical record, therefore the name can also be read as Toyo. Some sources theorize this as a copying error.[1][2]
Proper noun[edit]
- (historical) a semi-legendary queen of 邪馬台国 (Yamatai-koku, “Yamatai”) who, according to tradition, was Himiko's successor
- a female given name
- a surname
