How would you say "origin of the moon"


In the same way that "Nihon" (日本) means "origin of the sun" how would you say
"origin of the moon" in the same way?




「月{つき}の起源{きげん}」 would be just about the only term used in the real Japanese-
speaking world that means "the origin of the moon".

If you used 「月（の）本」, regardless of how it is read, you would need to explain
what you intended to mean by that. It sounds highly fictional/creative (or
plain nonsensical) without an explanation.
