あた

kun'yomi
Alternative spelling
(uncommon)

From Old Japanese. First cited to the Kojiki of 712, with the phonetic spelling 阿多 (ata).[1][2]

Possibly derived from verb 当つ (atu, to place one thing against another; to touch, to come into contact, modern verb pair 当てる (ateru, transitive), 当たる (ataru, intransitive)), from the sense of placing one's hand against something to measure it.
