The spelling for this portion is an example of ateji. In popular culture, this kami is now responsible for romantic matchmaking.

Proper noun

Usage notes
Although Musubi no Kami and Musuhi no Kami are essentially regarded as typographical differences in the context of Shinto, the Musubi name appears to be generally reserved for the pop-culture romantic matchmaking senses, while the Musuhi name is generally used to indicate the kami responsible for producing all of existence.
