What is the origin of the Japanese family name "Nagaoka"?

Comments

• I submitted a flood of surname questions last year in order to become the "Most Inquisitive" user on all of Answerbag. The most remarkable of those were the 789 Russian surname questions, all of them starting with the letter "A". I couldn't start on "B" and keep going all the way to the end of the alphabet because it took me a few hours to finish the "A" and thus, I was exhausted by the end. (Now I want separate questions regarding similarly-spelled surnames to be merged together to reduce clutter and all...)

• By August 20, 2005, I already did and, to this day, stand as the most inquisitive user on Answerbag, and have been for almost a year-and-a-half now. The last person with this honor was "WickedWillie" (or was it "Wicked Willie"?) So anyway, since you've already "answered" this question, would you care to find the information behind the "Nagaoka" family name and revise your answer? Thanks.
