Etymology

Kanji in this term
薺
なずな
Hyōgaiji
kun'yomi

/nad͡zuna/ > /nazuna/

Unclear. There are two leading theories, based on older form nadzuna:

  • May be derived from natsu na, as in 夏 ‎(natsu, “summer”) + 無 ‎(na, “missing, gone”), from the way the plant dies back in the summer.
  • May be derived from nadzuru na, as in 撫づる ‎(nadzuru, “to pet, to pat, to stroke”, the 連体形 ‎(rentaikei, “attributive form”) of Old Japanese verb 撫づ nadzu, modern Japanese 撫でる naderu) + 菜 ‎(na, “edible greens”), from the way the flower clusters may invite handling.
