Noun

IPA: [ka̠ba̠ne̞] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (かばね)), kabane [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Ultimate derivation unclear. Some theories derive this as a Japanese compound of 株 (kabu, “stock, root”) + 根 (ne, “root, origin”) or 名 (na, “name”). However, the required /u/ → /a/ sound shift would be unusual. Another thought is that this might be a borrowing from, or somehow otherwise related to, Korean 골품 (golpum), a Sino-Korean term also spelled 骨品 (literally “bones + goods”), the name for a kind of kinship hierarchy that was prevalent in the Silla kingdom. This latter theory and its related “bone” sense might also account for the homophony with 屍 (kabane, “corpse, dead body”).

Etymology number: 1

Noun

IPA: [se̞ː] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (せい)), sei [romanization]
Etymology: From Middle Chinese 姓 (MC sjengH). The kan'on, so likely a later borrowing. Compare modern Min Nan reading sèⁿ. Etymology templates: {{der|ja|ltc|-|sort=せい}} Middle Chinese, {{ltc-l|姓}} 姓 (MC sjengH), {{cog|nan|-}} Min Nan Head templates: {{ja-noun|せい}} 姓(せい) • (sei)

Noun

IPA: [ɕo̞ː] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (しょう)), shō [romanization], syau [romanization], しやう [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: /siau/ → /ɕjɔː/ → /ɕoː/ From Middle Chinese 姓 (MC sjengH). The goon, so likely the initial borrowing. Compare modern Hakka reading siang. This reading is less common than sei above.

Noun

IPA: [so̞ː] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (そう)), [romanization]
Etymology: A shift from shō above to use the 直音 (chokuon, “"straight" pronunciation”, dropping out any /j/ or /w/ glides). This reading is not used in modern Japanese, and is only found in historical texts, such as the Utsubo Monogatari from the late 900s.

However, the required /u/ → /a/ sound shift would be unusual.\nAnother thought is that this might be a borrowing from, or somehow otherwise related to, Korean 골품 (golpum), a Sino-Korean term also spelled 骨品 (literally “bones + goods”), the name for a kind of kinship hierarchy that was prevalent in the Silla kingdom. This latter theory and its related “bone” sense might also account for the homophony with 屍 (kabane, “corpse, dead body”).",

However, the required /u/ → /a/ sound shift would be unusual.\nAnother thought is that this might be a borrowing from, or somehow otherwise related to, Korean 골품 (golpum), a Sino-Korean term also spelled 骨品 (literally “bones + goods”), the name for a kind of kinship hierarchy that was prevalent in the Silla kingdom. This latter theory and its related “bone” sense might also account for the homophony with 屍 (kabane, “corpse, dead body”).",
