MINAMOTO
Minamoto, a member of a powerful family in Japan that ruled as shoguns from 1192 to 1333.SPELL – [mee-nah-maw-taw]Minamoto ( 源 ) was one of the surnames bestowed by the Emperors of Japan upon members of the imperial family who were excluded from the line of succession and demoted into the ranks of the nobility.
IPA – /ˈmi nɑˈmɔ tɔ/
The practice was most prevalent during the Heian Period (794–1185 CE), although its last occurrence was during the Sengoku Era.
The Minamoto clan is also called the Genji ( 源氏 ), using the Sino–Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese characters for Minamoto :
• GEN, from Middle Chinese ngüon, and
• family JI, from MC dʒje.
The Minamoto were one of four great clans that dominated Japanese politics during the Heian period – the other three were the Fujiwara, the Taira, and the Tachibana.
