Sakamoto Family History
Sakamoto Name Meaning
Japanese: written 坂本 or 阪元 both meaning ‘(one who lives) at the bottom of the slope’. It is common in all parts of Japan but especially in the west and the Ryūkyū Islands. It is listed in the Shinsen shōjiroku so some bearers have connections with ancient nobility.
