Archiveswhat is/are the meaning(s) of the japanese name kenzo?
I'd like to know the meaning of the Japanes name Kenzo. Maybe it has many meanings according to the kanji, then I would like to know the kanji as well. Also whether it's a traditional name or modern one. Thank you.

The following Kanji writing of this name is by far the most popular that I could find:
First Kanji: http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=5065
Second Kanji: http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=4e09
The first Kanji stands for "health" or "healthy", and the second for the number 3. Don't ask me how one would interpret this name as a whole - "the 3 healths"? "three times healthy"?
There is a famous Japanese architect that uses these Kanji to write his given name Kenzo:

Well Ken here they have meaning strong/healthy. But there would be more meanings out there. I'm sorry I'm bad at kanji. -zo is another ending.
Try this website. There was an Emporer Kenzo and there's kanji after the name. But I can't read it because my computer is bad.

Plus concidering the Emperor Kenzo was around 5th century but not sure it's probably a traditional name. There's some architect called Kenzo...
Otherwise: i think try a kanji dictionary.
If really desperate find Kenzo kanji's and look them up in kanji dictionary.
I'm not really helping am i?
