“南=N”也很合理...

对吧？？唉，真误导人啊…

And trying to think in Japanese just adds another loop to the process – I can usually associate みなみ=>南(=>going through that whole thing above=>south) quite easily but きた always causes me to start buffering for some reason (きた=>…ah the one that's not みなみ=>so 北 😑 no, really, brain??)

It seems like there's at least one theory that みなみ actually comes from 南 (Mandarin nan --> Korean nam --> Japanese mi-nami?), which does make it easier to remember.
