Etymology 1
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 鮭 |
| さけ Hyōgaiji |
| kun’yomi |
| Alternative spelling |
|---|
| 鮏 |
Originally borrowed from Ainu サㇰイベ (sak ibe, “salmon”, literally “summer + eat”, in reference to how the fish would be caught and eaten in the summer), or possible alternative unattested compound *サㇰエㇷ゚ (sak ep, literally “summer + food”).

Noun
Usage notes
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as サケ.
Etymology 2
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 鮭 |
| しゃけ Hyōgaiji |
Probably a sound shift from the sake reading, possibly to help differentiate from 酒 (sake, “alcoholic beverage”). Alternatively, might be a borrowing from a different dialect of Ainu.
