Etymology: Derived from the Japanese words 'ino' (猪), meaning 'boar', and 'kuma' (熊) or more accurately 'kuma' as 'tree' in an archaic or locational sense—though 'kuma' commonly means 'bear', in this context it may derive from 'kuma' as in 'grove' or 'wooded area'; however, some interpretations suggest 'kuma' here refers to a geographical feature. The most accepted breakdown is 'ino' (boar) + 'kuma' (a variant of 'guma' or 'kuma' meaning wooded slope), indicating a place where boars are found.
