frogadelic Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 So I have this Koi that I made like 7 and a half years ago and I really like her name, but I have no idea where I got it. I feel like it's not something I could have just made up, although I suppose that is possible. I feel it's more probable that I got it from an anime or a book or something, so if the name Okemirushi means anything to you, please let me know! I tried googling, but the only thing that came up was my pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbirdsara Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Oh, I dunno, I've found that a lot of the names I picked for game accounts back in college were pretty random... strings of sounds that I thought sounded pretty :) My original pets (Kyndana and Denob) are over 12 years old and Kyndana is completely random while Denob was named after a planet in a book series I was enjoying at the time. *shrug* Maybe your name was a blend of anime names and your own imagination :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloods_Mistress Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 thats a pretty cool name, though! I totally did the same thing as the person above me. Salamandraise was based on the names from the Brian Jacques books, loosely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leverhelven Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 If Master Google hasn't found anything but your own pet, it's probably something you made up back then :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christmas_tree74 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The only thing that came to mind when I read the name is that possibly sounds like an anime name. But honestly I am not sure cause I have not been into anime in awhile. Sorry. But the others might be right, I made up the names for my pets, except for a few that I adopted from the pound. That is another option too, that maybe you adopted with that name. Well I wish you good luck finding out :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightfall8705 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well, Okemirushi didn't come up with much on Google, but there is a game for Nintendo DS called Okamiden, also known as Okami. One of the characters in the game called Kuninushi was renamed to just Nushi in the North American version of the game. Your pet's name could be an accidental misspelling of that... that's one of my best guesses. Also, according to Wikipedia, Ōkuninushi (大国主) is a divinity (kami) in Japanese Shinto. His name literally translates to "Great Land Master", and he is believed to be originally the ruler of Izumo Province, until he was replaced by Ninigi. In compensation, he was made ruler of the unseen world of spirits and magic. He is believed to be a god of nation-building, farming, business, and medicine. I'm leaning more towards that game though for the inspiration. leverhelven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jally_muse Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Have you tried googling parts of the name? Maybe it is a combo of things like Okemi and Rushi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning more towards that game though for the inspiration. I was just about to say that Okemi is probably a corruption of 'okami' and 'rushi' could be a corruption of 'roshi'. But that's the best i got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
