For instance, a man named TAIRA no Yoshifumi, who had a career as a chinjufu-shogun (general of the northern pacification command), called himself MURAOKA no Goro because he had his territory, or his myoden, in Muraoka, Sagami Province and he was the fifth eldest brother (Goro literally means a fifth boy).
例えば、鎮守府将軍を歴任した平良文（たいらのよしふみ）という人物は、相模の村岡に所領＝名田を経営しており、兄弟で5番目だったことから村岡五郎（むらおかのごろう）と自称した。
