Explanation and Etymology - (本人) honnin
本人 (honnin) is a Japanese word that can be translated into English as "one's own person" or "myself". The word is made up of two kanji characters: 本 (hon) meaning "original" or "true", and 人 (nin) meaning "person". The etymology of the word goes back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term honnin was used to refer to an individual who was the true owner of a land or property. Over time, the term came to be used to refer to the person himself, especially in official documents or in formal situations.
