Compounds[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Kanji in this term |
---|
昴 |
すばる Jinmeiyō |
kun’yomi |
Likely from Old Japanese, use of kanji in Japanese texts first appears in the Tango-no-kuni Fudoki (c. mid-8th century), phonetic spelling first attested in the Wamyō Ruijushō (938 CE).
By extension from 統ばる (subaru, “to bunch together; to unite”, intransitive), due to the way the stars in the constellation all cluster together.[1][2] Compare 統べる (suberu, “to command”, transitive).
Pronunciation[edit]
Proper noun[edit]
- (astronomy) the Pleiades star cluster, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions
- a female given name
Etymology 2[edit]
Kanji in this term |

昴 |
すまる Jinmeiyō |
kun’yomi |
Likely from Old Japanese.
Possibly an allusion from 昴の玉 (sumaru no tama, literally “cluster of pearls”) referenced multiple times in the Kojiki (712 CE); probably the original form of Subaru above. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) Compare the development of 皇 (sume-/sumera- → sube-/subera-, prefix of praise and respect to Shinto deities or an Emperor of Japan)
