What 諏 means
It means consulting or deliberating; ritual use extends to choosing dates.
The early Chinese dictionary 說文解字 describes gathering to deliberate. Ritual texts also use 諏 for choosing a date by divination; Chinese dictionaries retain “consult” and “choose.”
In Japanese, 諏訪 reads すわ and names a place, shrine, and surname. A shrine history records an 1834 directive favoring 諏訪 over older 諏方, still used in shrine names.
Formal or classical alone; familiar in Japanese proper names.
In 諏訪, read the full name as すわ.
