通り名

意味

A commonly used name; a popular or familiar name by which a person, place, or thing is widely recognised, often distinct from the formal name.

A noun referring to an unofficial name that has achieved widespread recognition — a nickname in common circulation. In Edo-period merchant culture, tradesmen operated under a 通り名 separate from their formal family name. Today it covers pen names, stage names, and the informal name of a business. It implies social consensus rather than official registration.
