The meaning of Honda

Did you know what Honda means in Japanese?

The word is comprised of two kanji(in my icon).

The first kanji is HON and it is the same HON in Nihon, the Japanese word for Japan. HON in this case means source. It can also mean book but it doesn't here.

The second kanji is DA. DA means rice field.

So HONDA means the source of rice fields.
You figure out what the hell the significance is of that...

On a side note, the first kanji in nihon is NI, which means sun. So NIHON is sun source. Hence, "Land of the Rising Sun".

Anyone know a word for a white guy whose asian at heart? Kinda like whitewashed asians but oppostie...
