The origin of the name Japanese yew (Ichii) is from the history in the past.

So the tree name was taken from the first rank name “Ichii”.
There are two theories: the other is that the name “Ichihi” came from the meaning of the scarletest color because the Japanese yew tree was much more scarlet (red) than other trees.
