Satoshi = wisdom/sense
naka = middle
moto = base/root/origin
Which bears some similarity to the name 'central intelligence'. Heh.
- lifthrasiir 2y agoThe thing is that, many Japanese given names (Satoshi here) are constructed to be meaningful in a positive way anyway. Nakamoto is a well-known surname that is at least several centuries old and thought to mean some central land, though its ultimate origin is unclear (one theory is that it comes from important [or "central"] members of Murakami pirates [1]). Of course Satoshi Nakamoto is clearly a pseudonym so it may have been picked according to literal or even mistook meanings, but it may equally have been picked randomly too.
