What does nushi means in japanese?


Nushi can be written using katakana or kanji in Japanese. I wanted to
understand the exact meaning of this. And can it be used as someone's name?

I named my daughter nushi (It means sweet in Hindi) but when I called her name
in the crowd I fetched the attention of some people from Japan. Hence, I was
curious to know if it has some meaning in Japanese. I searched for dictionary
and I found 2 meanings of it. Hence, I asked here.




Nushi (主 in kanji, ぬし in hiragana) means only one thing in Japanese:
"boss/master (especially of animals/fish)". See [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/46850/5010). It's almost never
used as a Japanese person name.
