From Old Japanese of unclear derivation:
- Probably originally a compound of 吾 (a, Eastern Old Japanese first-person pronoun) + の (no, possessive particle) + 兄 (ye → e, “eldest sibling”):[1]
- ⟨a no2 ye⟩ → */anʉʲɨe/ → /ane/
This word is an apophonic form of 兄 (ani, “elder brother”).[2]
- Several other theories have also been suggested.[1]

Usage notes
- This term conveys neither positive nor negative connotations and is often used in objective narrations. However, using it to describe someone the speaker knows personally is often considered lacking respect, where more polite forms like お姉さん (onēsan) are preferred.
