Abe Family History
Abe Name Meaning
Japanese: variously written, with Chinese characters used
phonetically. Listed in the Shinsen shojiroku, the Abe claim
descent from Ohiko, first son of the mythical Emperor
Kogen. There are several places in Japan named Abe, which means
‘sun festival’ in the Ainu language. Some Ainu connections may be
assumed, but the name could also be purely habitational. It is found
mostly in northeastern Japan, the island of Kyushu, and the
Ryukyu Islands.
