The suzuki Surname
suzuki Name Meaning and History
Japanese: variously written, usually with characters meaning ‘bell
tree’, the name is probably taken from Japan’s lovely pampas grass,
susuki. An alternate pronunciation is Susuki. This is
one of the two most common surnames in Japan, the other being
Sato. Legend says that one Suzuki family descended from a
priestly line named Hozumi, of Kumano in present-day Mie
prefecture. The Hozumi, in turn, are listed in the Shinsen
shojiroku and claim descent from the Mononobe clan.
