The name Yorozuya (万事屋) literally means 'house of 10,000 business'. The phrase is made up of:

- 'yorozu' (万), whose literal meaning is 10,000, but is commonly used to mean 'myriad', 'various', 'many', 'everything', 'anything under the sky'.

- (事) meaning 'matter', 'business'

- ya (屋) meaning 'house/hut', 'shop'

- The more commonly seen phrase is (万屋), which is defined as Jack-of-all-trades in WWWJDIC.

- As mentioned by Kagura in Episode 164, the reading of the kanji phrase (万事屋) was originally banjiya, but Sakata Gintoki apparently coined the reading yorozuya. The regular kanji for yorozuya is actually (万屋).

(事) This symbol however can be translated as matter, thing or business. The best meaning for Gintoki's Yorozuya would be the first meaning stated above. "House of 10,000 business".
