Meaning & History

From Japanese 百 (momo) meaning "hundred" or 桃 (momo) meaning "peach", 太 (ta) meaning "thick, big" combined with 郎 (rou) meaning "son". Other kanji combinations are possible.

Momotarō (桃太郎) is the name of the popular folk hero, originating from Okayama Prefecture, who, according to the present form of the tale dating back to the Edo Period (1603-1868), came to Earth inside a giant peach floating down a river, found by an elderly, childless woman who was washing clothes there, and, years later, left her and her husband to fight a band of marauding oni (demons) on a distant island.
