Etymology

[edit]

First attested in the 三国志 (Sangokushi, Records of the Three Kingdoms), derived from Literary Chinese 壹與 (OC *qlid laʔ).

The original pronunciation remains uncertain; however due to possibly a naming taboo in ancient China, a variant (shinjitai ) is also attested in the historical record, therefore the name can also be read as Toyo. Some sources theorize this as a copying error.[1][2]
