What are the Meaning of "Tar Heel" and the Origin of "Japanese Tar Heel"?

"Tar Heel" is a nickname for people from the state of North Carolina in the United States and is commonly used to refer to residents of North Carolina or to describe things related to the state.

There are various stories about the origin of the term "Tar Heel".

  • One popular story dates back to the 1800s when North Carolina was a major producer of tar, pitch, and turpentine from the state's vast pine forests. Workers involved in this industry would often get tar on their heels while working, leading to the nickname "Tar Heels".
  • Another story relates to the state's history during the Civil War. North Carolina soldiers were said to be tough and steadfast, often sticking to their positions during battle like their heels were stuck in tar, hence the nickname "Tar Heels".

Over time, "Tar Heel" has become a symbol of pride for North Carolinians and is widely used in sports, culture, and various aspects of the state's identity.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC)'s athletic teams are known as the "Tar Heels", adding to the prominence of the term in the realm of sports and academia.

Our Founder/CEO&CTO Hiroyuki Chishiro (Japanese) worked (studied) as a visiting scholar at Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), from September 2012 to August 2013, and became a huge fan of UNC men's basketball.

These are the meaning of "Tar Heel" and the origin of "Japanese Tar Heel"!
