Proper name

IPA: [ha̠ja̠ɕi] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (はやし)), Hayashi [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. First mentioned in the Man'yōshū, completed in 759 CE. Derives from the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of verb 生やす (hayasu, “to grow”). The root verb is in the transitive form, suggesting that the original sense of hayashi may have indicated a deliberately planted or managed grove.
