Meaning & History
From archaic 史 (fuhito) referring to a court historian, shifted from earlier fumihito which is made up of 文/書 (fumi) meaning "letter, writings" and 人 (hito) meaning "person."
It can be written with other kanji, such as 富 (fu) meaning "riches, wealth, fortune," 不 (fu), 比 (hi), 仁 (to) meaning "benevolence, compassion, humanity," 等 (to) and 斗 (to), referring to the Chinese constellation known as the Dipper. The combination 不比等 was used on Fujiwara no Fuhito (藤原 不比等) (659–720), who was the second son of Fujiwara no Kamatari and a powerful member of the imperial court of Japan during the Asuka and Nara periods.This name is rarely used.
