Family name origins & meanings

  • Japanese (mostly found along the coast between Tōkyō and Kyōto) : from sugi ‘cedar’ + yama ‘mountain’; in some cases it is a habitational name from a village so called in Mikawa (now part of Aichi prefecture). These bearers of the name are descended from the Fujiwara clan, while others are of Taira origin.
