It has been recorded in historical documents, ethnographic accounts, and modern media, connecting to figures, places, and institutions across Asia, Europe, and the Pacific. Usage varies from surname and given name forms to specialized scientific and medical contexts.
The name has been analyzed in comparative studies linking it to forms recorded in Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Solomon Islands ethnographies, with proposed connections to entries in the Oxford English Dictionary and regional onomastic surveys such as those by the Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland.

Linguists from institutions like University of Tokyo, University of Oxford, and University of California, Berkeley have compared the element to morphemes in classical texts from Nara period sources, medieval charters preserved in the Vatican Apostolic Archive, and field notes collected by the Smithsonian Institution.
