Etymology
Hiroshima comes from two Japanese parts: hiro meaning 'wide' and shima meaning 'island'. So the name literally says 'wide island', a simple picture that matches the city's rivers and port and helps you remember this rebuilt city that, after the 1945 atomic bomb, became a strong symbol of peace.
