Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, or simply Tsukuyomi or Tsukiyomi (ツキヨミ), is the moon kami in Japanese mythology and the Shinto religion. The name "Tsukuyomi" is a compound of the Old Japanese words tsuku and yomi. The Nihon Shoki mentions this name spelled as Tsukuyumi, but this yumi is likely a variation in pronunciation of yomi. An alternative interpretation is that his name is a combination of tsukiyo and mi. -no-Mikoto is a common honorific appended to the names of Kami; it may be understood as similar
