Name Meaning

Japanese: written 井伊 ‘well’ and ‘that’, the name one of Japan's great daimyō families, originally based in Tōtōmi (now part of Shizuoka prefecture), later in Kōzuke (now Gunma prefecture) and Ōmi (now Shiga prefecture). Other variants of the name substitute either character with similar sounding characters such as 飯 ‘cooked rice’, 居 ‘residence’, and so forth. It was formerly Romanized as Iyi. — Note: In the population figure published by the US Census Bureau, the Roman number II (meaning ‘the second’, i.e. ‘the younger’ of the two bearers of the name) is apparently also counted as a surname Ii.

History: Ii Naomasa (1561–1602) was awarded lands in Kōzuke and Ōmi for his service in the civil wars that won the shōgunate (military dictatorship) for Tokugawa Ieyasu. His family built the beautiful castle of Hikone, which still stands. His descendant Ii Naosuke (1815–1860) ruled Japan for two years as Tairō (Great Elder) and played a major part in signing treaties that opened Japan to foreign trade at the end of the Tokugawa Shōgunate. He was assassinated by adherents of the anti-foreign party.
