What is the origin of Kamado?
Places with the same name can be found in areas like Kikusui Town, Kumamoto Prefecture. The origin is said to be either a sacred place enshrining the god of fire, or the kamado (hearth) used for salt production and pottery making. It is also said to originate from Kamado Shrine in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. To the east of that city lies Mount Hōman, also known as Mount Kamado (Kamado-yama). This suggests the surname developed from the place name.
