Last name origin & meaning: Japanese: variously written; the version listed in the Shinsen
shōjiroku is written with characters meaning ‘morning’ and
‘door’. Another version, written with characters meaning ‘safe’ and
‘village’, is found in the Ryūkyū Islands, where it is sometimes
pronounced Yasuzato. One family of this name originated in
Asatsu village in Satsuma province (present-day Kogoshima prefecture),
and any of four places called Asato in the Ryūkyū Islands could
also have given rise to the surname.
