"水鶏" meaning in Japanese

See 水鶏 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [kɯ̟ina̠] Forms: 水鶏 [canonical] (ruby: 水鶏(くいな)), Kuina [romanization], Kufina [romanization], くひな [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: /kufina/ → /kuwina/ → /kuina/ First attested in the Edo period. Derivation uncertain. Thought to be a shift from a compound of 食い (kui, stem form of verb 食う (kuu), “to put in one's mouth, eat”) + 鳴く (naku, “to call, said of a bird”). The kanji spelling means literally "water chicken".
