Proper name

Etymology: Coined by Torii Ryūzō in 1897. Possibly related to English Y'Ami Island and Spanish Diami, which early 1800s Spanish texts refer to as the name of a populated island of the Batanes Islands north of the Babuyan Islands, whose natives were at war with those of the other Batanes Islands who do not receive them except during storms or when the sea currents lead them to their islands, which in that case, they also don't let them go beyond the beaches. In 1802, Fr. Francisco de Paula Esteban O.P. also referred to Diami as the northernmost island in the Batanes Archipelago that people were moving to.
