What's the source for the etymology? I can't find anything on Wiktionary to support it; the Japanese for "beach" appears to be "buna", and it's hard to imagine that "beach tree" wasn't a typo. ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 14:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- I researched for it on the day she was announced very quickly, and didn't use any actual viable sources (searching for it now, I can't even find the source I used back then). I meant for it to be temporary until someone with more viable sources found the proper meaning. Since it wasnt changed, I kind of assumed that it was accepted.

- Nvm I found it. It's not a fantastic source but its what I used. Here is the source I used. Amaterasu (talk) 16:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Looks like that source was poorly worded – Castanopsis is not a beech tree, though it is in the beech family. ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 18:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
