The reading うじすじょう (ujisujō) is unusual in that all parts use Kun'yomi: 氏 (uji), 素 (su), and 姓 (jō). 姓 (jō) is particularly tricky, often read as セイ or ショウ in On'yomi. The term refers to one's lineage, family origin, or ancestral background and social standing.
氏(うじ)、素(す)、姓(じょう)の訓読みによる特別な読みです。「氏」をOn'yomiでし、「姓」をOn'yomiでせいと誤読しやすいので注意が必要です。家柄や血筋、生まれつきの身分を表す言葉です。
