Meaning & History
Combination of a ya kanji, e.g. 八 meaning "eight," and 潮 (shio) meaning "tide, current; sea water."Much of its usage was concentrated on persons born or otherwise moved to countries of high Japanese migration during the late 19th to early 20th centuries, such as the United States and Brazil, in reference to the word 八潮路 (yashioji) meaning "long sea voyage," from 八 combined with 潮路 (shioji) meaning "tideway, sea route."
