"Ajichi" is a rare surname found in Kaga City and Komatsu City in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is said that the surname originated from the local dialect, where a branch family is called "Ajichi." In the same dialect, the opposite of a branch family is the main family, which is called "Omoya."
The word "Ajichi", which means a branch family, is said to have originally been derived from "Anshitsu", which means a temporary residence for a retired person.
