Meaning

Back of the bay or rear bay

Represents a sense of place and ancestral roots, often indicating that the family originated from an area behind or at the back of a bay. It signifies a deep connection to nature and topography.

Symbolism

Embodies stability, rootedness, and a quiet strength derived from natural landscapes. Symbolically, it suggests protection and shelter, as bays are natural harbors.

Etymology: Derived from the Japanese words 'ura' (裏) meaning 'back' or 'behind', and 'gami' (神 or 海) which can mean 'god' or 'sea', though in this context more likely from 'wata' or 'kami' related to 'cape' or 'promontory'; however, 'gami' here is most plausibly linked to 'umi' (sea) through regional dialect or phonetic evolution, making 'Uragami' refer to a geographical feature—specifically the back or inner part of a bay.
