Meaning & History

This name is used as 三 (san, zou, mi, mi'.tsu, mi.tsu) meaning "three."

According to Suzuki Sakaye, numerals used as names like 三 refer mostly to the order of birth, so in a way, San is given to the third daughter.

San was popular in the middle of the Edo period (1603-1868) but it was uncommon by the end of that period.
