Hoashi
Hoashi is a Japanese surname. It is relatively uncommon, and its origin likely stems from a place name or a characteristic of an ancestor's occupation or residence. Like many Japanese surnames, the precise etymology can be difficult to determine without specific family history. Variations in the kanji (Chinese characters) used to write the name can further complicate tracing its exact meaning and origin. In the absence of a particular individual or family associated with the name, information regarding its cultural significance or historical prevalence is limited.
