Hello, Mr. Sato. This is an explanation of the origin of the surname Sato, which is shared by your ancestors and friends.
The surname Sato is said to have started with the gift of Kamatari Nakatomi (Mr. Fujiwara) from Emperor Tenchi, and the name of Sato by the descendant of Hidesato Fujiwara, Kinkiyo Saemonnojo.
When the Fujiwara family prospered, he called “Sa” the second role after the highest position in the official position of the imperial court.
There seems to be a meaning behind having “藤(Fuji)” in one’s surname.
藤(Fuji) is the name of a flower, so Wisteria. In a certain manga, it is described as a flower that keeps demons away, but the character for Fuji seems to have a different meaning. It is possible that ancestors who were related to the imperial court or nobility at the time, or who had achieved success under a different surname, were given surnames with the character for Fuji.
