    Hi Sono Ike,

    Yeah. Oda is the last name and Nobunaga was his first name. They said their last name first and first name last back then. That's why they called it the "Oda clan". Another example would be Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa being the surname.
    I wish I knew that I didn't know what I know. You know?

    We still do. Family name first, given name second.

    There was a girl in my highschool class whose last name was 安全寺 (Anzenji), which I thought sounded really cool.
