Etymology

edit
“Kasuga”
Orthographic borrowing from Japanese 春日 (Kasuga).
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “apparently the Taiwanese place name is also derived from Japanese antics? the zh.wp and ja.wp pages do not seem to agree on the finer details though ("Kasuga"? "Kasugagu"? "Kasugaku"? "Kasuvongan"?)”
