However, in some region where the matsuri is held, it is called by abbreviating its official name, and a simplified common name is sometimes used by attaching an honorary term or term of endearment such as 'XX san' (also referred as O-XX san) or 'XX sama' (also referred as O-XX sama) to the name of temple or shrine where the matsuri is held.
ただし、その祭の行われる地域の中では、正式な名称を短略化して呼ぶことも多く、時としては、行われる寺社などの名称に「（お）○○さん」または「（お）○○様」などの敬称・愛称をつけ、簡略化した祭りの通り名もある。
