"海老名" meaning in Japanese

See 海老名 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [e̞bʲina̠] Forms: 海老名 [canonical] (ruby: 海老(えび), ()), Ebina [romanization]
Etymology: /jebina/ → /ebina/ Uncertain. Literally 海老 (ebi, “shrimp, prawn”) + 名 (na, “name”). The place name has apparently been in use since roughly the mid-Heian period (794–1185 CE), when the Ebina clan controlled the area. That said, it is unclear whether the place name came from the clan name, or the other way around. Derivation theories include: * Named for large shrimp caught at the nearby mouth of the Sagami River * Named for the bend in the Sagami River where one of the oldest shrines is located, with said bend thought to resemble the arch of a shrimp's back * Named for the local topography, with the ebi portion of the name (ancient yebi) instead a shift from 指 (yubi, “finger”) in reference to the jointed and stepped shape of the land Head templates: {{ja-pos|proper|えびな}} 海老(えび)名(な) • (Ebina)
