Name origin

The name of the dam originates from the old village “Otagiri” (小田切)[4]^{[circular reference]} (not "Odagiri"). Etymologically “Otagiri” consists of “O” and “tagiri”. “O” is a prefix of Japanese. “Tagiri” is the gerund of the verb “tagiru” (it means the motion of water like “boil”).[5][6] In Nagano Prefecture there are many such place names like "Tagiri", “Ô-tagiri”,[7]^{[circular reference]} "Naka-tagiri",[8]^{[circular reference]} “Inu-tagiri”, “Fut-tagiri”, and “Ka-tagiri”.[9]^{[circular reference]}[10]^{[circular reference]}[11]^{[circular reference]}[12]
