The word "Ginsukyo" is an {{WPlink|endonym}} from the [[Ginsukyan]] language, and was adopted in the 1st century. The first attestation of the word is in a verse from a [[Sona Tokā]] holy book, the [[Legend of Olar Kalarlar]] (P44-45):
{{Verse translation|
Olari Kalarilari, kalako no toko, kuniko ko-yi ichi yunoko, dewa kalako Yeni-yi doyan. Yeni Ginsu-ya tazu, kanoro kanori, talani tona, shikashi, talani kono no Turiko. Ginsu tazi: Tamana! Yeni-yi no kiyo, tokātan e kunihan no kiyo. '''Tina simi masu, Ginsukiyo'''.
|Olar Kalar, a man of the [[Kalako|people of light eyes]], a man revered by many, he has truly abandoned his old Gods. He asks a new Goddess, Ginsu, pleading before her, for his prize, and the prize of all [[Turiko]]. Ginsu said: So it is! A Land of Gods, a Land of Faith and Prosperity. '''It will be named after me, Ginsukyo'''.
