This name is also known to the Yoruba tribe of west Africa or the largest brown skin race of the world! It’s a name of a God of Lightening and thunder, a great warrior with mystical powers. He has plaited hair and he holds a double sided Axe, he has a wife called Oya who is his soul mate and also a battle mate.
What the... "Sango" is used in Japanese for "coral". It was NOT made for a comic character, it was just used for a character. I hope some moderator would modify the description to be "This name became popular by the comic and cartoon, 'Inu Yasha'." How it is now makes it seem like that's the only place it's from and used in, and makes it seem like someone ignorant (or a weeaboo) added this. And for the comic characters whose name is "made" for the character: it is the meaning it could represent when written in kanji. For "Sango", however, it has only the meaning of "coral". You know, the kind you find in the ocean.

I have always heard it said SONG go (merging the g as one).
Sango was one of my favourite characters on the show InuYasha. Like someone suggested above, it would make a good cat's name. =D The meaning is pretty cool, too.
Sango is a cute name, and I always thought the character was cool, but I think it'd be best for a cat, especially an orange one. (The coral connection made me think this.)
Sango is a pretty name and probably become more popular in the future. Maybe if I lived in Japan then I might name my daughter Sango but in the USA it won't become very popular. It's also a language somewhere.
Having never met a "Sango" in real life in my years in Japan, it may be like some other comic book names that are made up for a character, but not really used so much in real life. [noted -ed]
