Family name origins & meanings

  • Japanese : written with characters meaning ‘strait’ and ‘door’. The name is probably connected with the Seto Naikai, called the ‘Inland Sea’ in English. The name is found mostly in the island of Kyūshū, which bounds the Inland Sea on the west.
  • Chinese : variant of Situ.
