Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Chinese 龍樹 (MC ljowng dzyuX|dzyuH, literally “dragon + tree”), in turn a translation of Sanskrit नागार्जुन (nāgārjuna).[1][2][3][4] Listed in one monolingual Japanese source as an 音訳 (on'yaku, transcription, literally sound translation) of the Sanskrit,[5] but considering the Middle Chinese and Sanskrit phonetics, this seems unlikely.
