Miyamoto Family History
Miyamoto Name Meaning
Japanese: written 宮本 ‘(one who lives) near the shrine’. It is a habitational name found mostly in western Japan and the island of Okinawa. Several noted samurai families bear this name but the widespread existence of Shintō shrines in Japan indicates that most bearers are unrelated and are not of samurai rank.
