"蛭子" meaning in All languages combined

See 蛭子 on Wiktionary

Proper name [Japanese]

Forms: 蛭子 [canonical] (ruby: (ひる), ()), Hiruko [romanization], 蛭子 [canonical] (ruby: 蛭子(えびす)), Ebisu [romanization]
Etymology: Hiruko: Given the spelling in 古事記 (Kojiki) (水蛭子) and the 日本書紀 (Nihon Shoki) (蛭兒), and the fact that Hiruko was considered a deformed failure owing to the improper courtship ritual between 伊弉諾 (Izanagi) and 伊弉冉 (Izanami), this name is usually interpreted as 蛭 (“leech”) + 子 (“child”). Alternatively, this could be the male equivalent of 日孁 (Hirume, “Amaterasu”, literally “Sun Female”), hence 日 (hi, “sun”) + る (ru, possible variant of archaic genitive particle ろ) + 子 (ko, “child”), although his association with the sun was never clearly stated.
