Etymology 1

⟨i ti pi1ko1⟩ → /itibʲikʷo/ → */itimiko/ → */itĩɡo/ → /it͡siɡo/ → /it͡ɕiɡo/

First attested in the Wamyō Ruijushō (938 CE).

Shift from Old Japanese 蓬蔂 (itibiko → ichibiko), attested earlier in the Nihon Shoki (720 CE) and the Shinsen Jikyō (c. 900 CE), itself a compound of 斎 (i-, prefix expressing sacredness) +‎ 血 (chi, “blood”) +‎ 彦 (hiko, “boy, prince”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
