Meaning & History

From the Japanese 小 (o) "small," 尾 (o) "tail" or 織 (o) "fabric," "material," "cloth" and 田 (ta or da) "rice paddy" or 多 (ta or da) "many."

This name, written as 織田, is the family name of Oda Nobunaga (織田信長, 1534–1582), one of the most powerful warlords of medieval Japan and the first of the three unifiers during the Warring States Period (ca. 1467–1603).
