The name KANAME may have Japanese origins.
From 要 (kaname) meaning "pivot; vital point, cornerstone, keystone," likely sound shifted from 蟹の目 (kani no me) meaning "crab's eye," likely by influence from 金目, which looks as if it's read as kaname, literally meaning "golden eye." The derivation refers to a metal fitting (resembling a crab's eye) used for fastening the frame at the end of the fan, which would fall apart if no metal fitting is inserted.
