The family name Ashida came from her fathers side. The literal translation of Ashida is "water shoes" as in the sandals that are approx 4-5 inches tall as one walks in the ride paddy feilds with them on, as to not get too muddy. She took his name, and the complete name in full Ashida no Ayame, because she is the last of her clan and the name Ashida. This occured after her village was burned to the ground, where it stood close to kamakura. The reason for the destruction was the samurai of Ashikaga Takauji, headed for kamakura to overthrow the shogun there. Anything in their path that had to do with the regiment there, they destroyed. Unfortunatly it was Ayame's father and grandmother that were killed in the attack.
