ArchivesRe: what is/are the meaning(s) of the japanese name kenzo?
in reply to a message by Kenzo
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:

... and a famous Japanese pop star:
