A type of Buddhist name used by those who have faith in Amida Buddha. It is commonly called Amida Buddha's name (or Amida Buddha's name), or abbreviated as Amigo or Ago. It is called Ku Amida Buddha, Kan'ami, Mukai'a, etc., and is used above the Buddhist name in the Jodo and Ji sects. The use of Amida Buddha's name as a Buddhist name can be seen from the beginning of the 11th century, but it seems to have been given by the "Amida Saints" who were descended from Kuya. It began to be used by laypeople after Shunjobo Chogen widely bestowed it on people of all ranks as a means of promoting the rebuilding of the Great Buddha in 1183 (Juei 2).

阿弥陀仏を信仰する人々が用いた法名の一種。つぶさには阿弥陀仏号(または阿弥陀仏名),略して阿弥号,阿号という。空阿弥陀仏,観阿弥,向阿などと称し,浄土宗や時宗では法号の上に用いている。法号として阿弥陀仏名を用いることは11世紀はじめにみられるが,空也の流れをくむ〈阿弥陀聖〉たちの間から名のられたようである。俗人が使用するようになったのは俊乗房重源(ちようげん)が1183年(寿永2)大仏再建勧進の手段として,貴賤にひろく付与してからのことである。
