    Japanese: alternate reading of Furuya. Furuya: Japanese: ‘old valley’; more correctly written with characters meaning ‘old room’. Some bearers are descended from the Taira clan, others from the Minamoto through the Satake and Takeda. The name is most common in the Tōkyō area. It is pronounced Furutani or Kotani in western Japan. http://genealogy.familyeducation.com/surname-origin/furuya?detoured=1
