Best Answer

When a Geisha in training moves into her okiya (geisha house) to begin her new life, she leaves her old life behind. The mother of the okiya becomes her mother, the other Geisha in the house, her sisters.

She is given by her older sister a new name, one suitable of her new life, and will usually take on part of her older sister's name as her own.
