Meaning & History
From Japanese 繁在家 (Hanzaike), sound- and script-changed from 半在池 (Hanzaiike) meaning "Hanzaiike", a division in the area of Kirida in the city of Towada in the prefecture of Aomori in Japan. The spelling 繁在家 was chosen with the meaning 繁 (han) meaning "flourish; luxuriance", 在 (zai) meaning "at; in; located", and 家 (-ke), a suffix representing family, referring to a lush family.
