Additional Information:

This is my name given to me in 1974 by my very Hippie Mother. She feels that she made it up but I worked in banking for 11 years and 2 separate times by 2 separate people, I was told that "Chome" means "Street or Road" in Chinese. I assure you that my mother did not know that & it was way before the Internet. According to the internet they were partly correct except it was Japanese & this is what it says, "Basically, Japanese addresses work by narrowing down from larger to smaller. Japanese cities are divided into ku, which are roughly similar to the boroughs of New York City in that they have their own city halls. The ku are divided into cho, many of which were once independent villages, as old maps of Edo show. In modern Japan, these are roughly equivalent to large neighborhoods. The cho are divided into chome which are numbered subdivisions of the cho. The chome are divided into numbered banchi, which for all practical purposes are city blocks".
