"大八洲" meaning in Japanese

See 大八洲 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [o̞ːja̠ɕima̠] Forms: 大八洲 [canonical] (ruby: (おお), (), (しま)), Ōyashima [romanization], Ofoyasima [romanization], おほやしま [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: Compound of 大 (ō, “great, big”) + 八 (ya, “eight>many”) + 島 (shima, “island”), referring to the eight islands of Japan created by Izanagi and Izanami according to the Kojiki. However, 八 (ya) was also used in various ancient compounds to mean simply many, as opposed to specifically eight, so this term may be interpreted instead to mean originally "the many islands of Japan". This compound most often uses the less-common spelling of 洲 for the shima (“island”) portion. First cited to a text from 849.
