Horihorie

Horihorie is primarily a Japanese surname and, less commonly, a place name. The term is typically romanized from Japanese and can correspond to multiple kanji spellings, depending on the family or locality. Because kanji can vary, the exact meaning of Horihorie is not fixed, and there is no single canonical representation.

As a surname, Horihorie is relatively uncommon in Japan, with occurrences concentrated in particular regions or families. Like many Japanese names, its origins may be toponymic or tied to geographic features, historical settlements, or clan lineages. The name can also appear among Japanese diaspora communities in other countries.

As a toponym, Horihorie may appear in local place names such as districts, streets, or neighborhoods within certain municipalities. These uses are typically small-scale and of local rather than national prominence, and they may not be widely documented in English-language sources.

Notable individuals bearing the surname Horihorie are not widely documented in standard reference works, which suggests it is not among the more common Japanese surnames. The name may also appear in fiction, media, or academic contexts, where it serves as a character name or proper noun.
