Meaning & History
This name combines 今朝 or 袈裟 (kesa) (see Kesa) with 雄 (yuu, o-, osu, on) meaning "male, masculine," 男 (dan, nan, o, otoko) meaning "man, male" or 夫 (fu, fuu, bu, otto, sore, o) meaning "husband, man."This name was occasionally used from the Meiji period (1868-1912) to the first half of the 20th century but nowadays, it is rarely given to boys, if given at all.
